Description: Vino Brkic started in the late 70's by Pasko Brkić planting vineyards in Čitluk—a wine district located just south of Mostar in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina—at 800 -1,300 feet above sea level. Pasko’s son, Josip, took over after he passed, and dedicated the focus on the native varietals of Žilavka, Bena Krkosija, and Blatina. Josip also fell in love with organic practices in the early 2000s after attending an organic wine expo in Italy. From there he embraced a commitment to create wines with life and personality. Inspired by purity and balance of acidity, tannin, and texture, he converted the vineyards and cellar to biodynamic practices. The wine exhibits pale yellow and golden reflections with aromas of buttermilk, sweaty leather, and fauna. The palate has a silky texture with notes of brine, artichokes, and soft mineral stone.

Food pairings: Artichokes, antipasta, fish (poached, steamed), cheese, pesto sauces, melon, prosciutto, seafood, root vegetables, etc.
