Proprietor: Frano and Paval Banicević Website: Toreta Winery Country Location: Croatia Located in the village of Smokvica on the island of Korcula in the middle of the Adriatic sea, this family run winery has risen in recent years to the challenge of world wide competition. When Michel Rolland paid a visit to Croatia he "declared" Toreta winery as one of the best wines of the country, and rightfully so. Frano Banicević has taken the helm of the winery for this generation with a commitment to quality. Smokvica village is protected from the cold winter winds of the north (bura) by rocky cliffs that open to the seemingly endless sun and seaside which yield perfect growing conditions for this Pošip varietal. |
