Dubrovnik white wine Malvasija
The origin of this wine culture has not been established, but it is rightfully believed to be an autochthonous culture of the Dubrovnik coastal area. It is very susceptible to cryptogenic illness. It is a third period ripening culture. It accumulates high concentrations of sweetness with the proper level of overall acids. It is very harmonious, with a specific flavour and aroma, and is recognizable. It requires special care. The wine was highly esteemed during the times of the Dubrovnik Republic and was sold by prescription as a "medication". The tradition of grape and wine growing dates back to the days of the Dubrovnik Republic, which is seen in the Decree of 1424 which set the price of specific categories of wines, while the Malvasija wines were permitted to have prices with no set limits.
