It is comparable to Chianti Clasicco, Malbec or full-bodied, warm climate Pinot Noir. Blatina is unique and very hard to cultivate. It does not grow anywhere outside of Neretva river valley. Blatina is fickle, has a functional female flower, rendering it auto-sterile, meaning it requires other varieties to be planted nearby in order to pollinate and allow fruits.  Trnjak (TER-njak) variety is used to pollinate our Blatina. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis wine exhibits a glowing ruby red color with garnet reflections. It opens gradually on the nose with soft aromas of black currant and elderberry and a hint of licorice. The palate reveals full, fresh notes of red and black currant, traces of dried figs, roasted almonds, ripe plums, and chocolate with an undertone of minerality and a savory dash of salt. Delicious freshness highlights the well-integrated acidity. A perfect wine with any spicy meal or as a cocktail wine. 750ML ALC. 13% BY VOL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wines of Illyria","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 1","offer_id":42207224496233,"sku":"WOILBLATI75016","price":23.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/files\/Wines-of-Illyria-BLATINA-2016-750-12-2016.jpg?v=1746078627","url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/wines-of-illyria-blatina-2016-750-12-2016","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
