HERZEGOVINA is a region in Europe, close to the Adriatic Sea, with soil that produces unique wines shaped by limestone-rich soils, a Mediterranean climate, and high-altitude vineyards on rocky ground. It's known for the Žilavka (white) and Blatina (red); indigenous grapes that thrive in this region, developing distinct mineral notes and balanced acidity. They were originally brought to the region by ancient Illyrians and later cultivated by the Romans, who knew the secret of this region's ideal winemaking conditions.
