Montenegrin Vranac " Plantaze 13. Jul "

Montenegrin Vranac is a powerful and robust southern wine,made of the autochtonous variety Vranac which had been grown for centuries in Crmnitza,the area stretching from Lake Skadar towards the Adriatic sea,at the altitude of 500 m.

Today, Vranac is a leading variety in Podgorica’s viticultural area, giving the premium quality with very balanced relation between sugar and acids.Vineyards, established in the shallow, skeletal soils,sun drenched over 2500 hours annually, give the premium quality of the grapes which is converted by applying the latest technology into the premium wine. The wine is of dark red ruby colour. On nose nad taste it resembles mature sour cherries and forest fruit with vanilla tones, leaving the lingering taste of fullness and warmth. It is of a very pleasant astringency, which gives it the possiblity of laying down and maturing.

It matches best with local food,which you may taste if you arrive in our country, but it is perfect with ham, prosciutto and all red meat dishes,game meat and even, fish. It matches perfectly the spicy red meat , grilled meat as well as the sheep’s cheese.

It is served at 17-20 C.
