Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is autochthonous to the coastal region of Central Dalmatia in Croatia. It is a wine grape variety intended exclusively for the production of red wines.

The vine is characterized by high vigor and productivity. Leaves are medium-sized, five-lobed, and dark green. Clusters are medium or large, conical in shape, and moderately dense. Berries are medium-sized, round, dark blue in color with a waxy bloom and thin, firm skin.

The variety ripens in mid-September and is prone to uneven ripening of berries within the cluster. The plant is sensitive to fungal diseases such as downy mildew and powdery mildew. Berries accumulate a large amount of sugars, which allows for the production of wines with an alcohol content often exceeding 15%.
