skaramucaFor several generations the Skaramuca Family has been creating some of the best Croatian wines. The tradition of wine growing and production in the Skaramuca family is as old as the family itself. The wine-producing area where Dingac is grown is known for the highest average temperatures in the country. The climatic conditions of this ecologically pristine area makes spraying unnecessary. An ideal location, basking in the reflected rays of the Adriatic Sea combined with a modern and newly equipped cellar, produces and guarantees a top quality wine, such as Dingac-Skaramuca.
