Bura Galeria Dalmatia

Country: Croatian
Region: Dalmatia
Size: 0.75
Type: Red wine
Grape: Plavac Mali

Farming: Organic. No irrigation, spraying is done only in April, with only powdered sulfites, and copper in “off” vintages

Vinification: All grapes are strictly hand-harvested and then de-stemmed. Fermented separately in open vats with manual punchdowns with strictly only native yeasts, with 8 days of skin maceration. Aged for 3 months in stainless steel (inox) tanks, with an additional 4 months in used 225- liter oak barrels, with a coarse filtration after that.

Tasting Notes: Normally a robust wine, this Plavac Mali is more elegant and restrained. With lower levels of alcohol, the Galeria offers aromas of plums, red currant and blackberry, which are then followed by herbaceous notes of fennel and thyme. Mouth-watering acidity, sweet tannins, thickened earthy fruitiness which lingers on the palate.

Ideal for a variety of dishes: soft cheeses, pršut (prosciutto), brick oven pizza, pašticada, pasta, veal and chicken roasts, grilled seafood or creamy mushroom risotto.
