Importer's Notes

Boutique Wine Collection seeks out family-owned, estate-driven producer partners whose passions and ethos are both celebrating and preserving indigenous varieties. Serpentina is a Love Over Money project designed to introduce the history and wine culture of Croatia.

Plavac Mali is a cross between Crljenak Kaštelanski (ancestor of Zinfandel) and Dobričić. The name Plavac Mali translates “small blue grapes” with plavo meaning blue and mali meaning small. It is the most widely planted varietal along the coastline of Croatia.
