Pomalo Wine Company Plavina 2024
Location: Croatia, Dalmatia
Grapes: Plavina
From the Importer Vinum Slo Cro: The description of the word “pomalo” cannot be found in any Croatian dictionary. Literally, “pomalo” means to take it easy, to relax, no stress, but also slow down, no worries…
The true meaning of ”pomalo” is rooted in the coastal and island lifestyle and the general state of mind of the Dalmatians. Us Americans can use more Pomalo, all the time.
There are so many exciting varietals and terroirs within Croatia, so to capture the pomalo lifestyle in liquid form, we teamed up with the allusive Begović cousins to produce some of the best natural Hrvatska expressions to bring to the US.
The Begović cousins are two phenomenal winemakers from starkly different backgrounds - one based in the northeastern mountains of Slovenia, one based on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia — whom discovered their long-lost relation to each other over their mutual family lineage in the village of Kozice, Croatia.
Together, they teamed up with Vinum and fused their winemaking styles to create and celebrate pure wines of enjoyment, fun and leisure.
These wines are made for fjaka!
‘Plavina’: 100% Plavina, destemmed into rotary fermenter. Spontaneous fermentation begins after 2 days. Fermentation continues at 14-16 degree Celsius due to low ambient temperature. Wine is pressed off skins after 10 days midway through fermentation. After fermentation has finished, the wine is allowed to naturally settle for one week and then racked. Wine receives a light filtration at bottling and minimal sulphur addition at bottling.
Often overlooked in Dalmatian reds for its more robust peers like Plavac Mali and Babić, Plavina is an incredible coastal red varietal that delivers Dalmatian terroir while maintaining freshness and elegance. Yummy aromas of plum jam over breakfast pastries pop from the glass, delivering a textured but balanced palate of dark cherry and cinnamon raisin bread, with youthful and easy-going tannins. A perfect chillable and crushable Dalmatian red. Pair with sunsets over the Adriatic, grilling in your bathing suit, or sipping late night as the bonfire dies down.
