Toreta, Posip Island of Korcula Croatia 2020

Product Description

Vinous Reverie Notes
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. On Korcula, lush with pine forests and Mediterranean herbs, wine has been the backbone of the island’s economy since before the Greeks. Interestingly you will see a relief of St. Mark’s Lion (the lion of Venice) on the old city gate. For roughly 400 years, up until the early 1800’s, Korcula was a part of the Venetian Empire. The architecture and food still harken back to that era. There is even a stone statue with inscriptions for regulating the production of wine from 1407.
