{"product_id":"basina-plavac-mali-2023","title":"Basina, Plavac Mali, 2023","description":"This is the easy way into Dingač, Croatia's first protected wine region. Basina is the Bura-Mrgudić family's younger-vine Plavac Mali, picked a little earlier than their flagship Dingač to give a softer, fresher, more elegant take on the grape. The fruit comes from steep, windy, south-facing slopes in Dingač and neighbouring Postup on the Pelješac peninsula, along Croatia's Dalmatian coast, with vines at 200 to 400 metres above the Adriatic. Dingač is famous for its \"three suns\": direct sunlight, light bouncing off the sea, and heat radiating back from the stone terraces. The slope was once so remote it could only be reached by donkey. The Mrgudić in the name is Mare Mrgudić, one of the first women to own a winery in post-communist Croatia. The vineyards are dry-farmed (no irrigation, and the only spray is sulfur in April). This is a taste of serious Croatian red without the weight of the top bottling.","brand":"Vinum USA, Inc.
