The Crmnica appellation is one of Montenegro's wine gems, nestled in a picturesque landscape between the mountains and Lake Skadar. Steep terrains, limestone soils, and a Mediterranean climate provide this region with ideal conditions for viticulture. The winemaking history of Crmnica goes back several centuries and is the birthplace of some rare indigenous grape varieties, the most famous being Vranac.
Vranac, considered the backbone of Crmnica's red wines, is appreciated for its intense aromas of dark fruits, spices, and sometimes earthy notes. On the palate, this wine is distinguished by its robust structure and silky tannins, offering remarkable ageing potential. Apart from Vranac, the region also produces white and rosé wines from grape varieties such as Krstac.
Crmnica plays a fundamental role in the regional winemaking scene, and its wines are an authentic representation of the Montenegrin terroir. For collectors and wine enthusiasts, exploring Crmnica wines offers a rich sensory journey and an opportunity to discover unique and ancestral flavours, imbued with history and tradition.
