Skaramuča Family
The tradition of viticulture and winemaking of Skaramuča family is as old as the family from Pelješac itself. The true success story of the winery starts in 1992, when its founder, Ivo Skaramuča, was enabled to operate as a private grape and wine producer in Croatia.
Ivo Skaramuča was one of the founders of the private winemaking and viticulture in the Dalmatia region of Croatia and on the Pelješac island. Skaramuča is the proof of how with hard work, dedication, and love for wine, it’s possible to establish one of the most respected wine brands of Dalmatia.
Unbelievable enthusiasm, supernatural power, a desire to create and work, and a belief in success adorned a man who made a small vineyard paradise out of the vast forest and stone, which leaves even the most enviable breathless. Ivo left an imprint on the Croatian and Peljesac wine scene. He changed the path of many new generations of winemakers and enabled his successors to continue in his footsteps.
His son Igor Skaramuča and daughter Ivana Anđelić continued the story of this Pelješac winery with immense respect for dedicated work and creation. Today the winery is managed by a team made up of Igor Skaramuča, Ivana and Branimir Anđelić. Together, they maintain vineyards, invest in new technologies, create new specialty wine collections and market themselves, contributing to the modern development of the winery.
Skaramuča Winery is one of the largest private winemakers in Croatia and the owner of the largest vineyard in the Dingač area.
The vineyards are located in prominent areas of the Peljesac peninsula, belonging to the Peljesac district and Dingač wine area. Vineyards on the southern slopes of Dingač cover an area of 20 ha.
Dingač is a premium red dry wine of controlled origin from the restricted areas of the Peljesac Peninsula. In 1961 the wine was protected by the Geneva Convention and became the first Croatian wine protected by law. It is obtained from the autochthonous variety plavac mali from the Dingač locality, on the steep southern slopes of the Pelješac peninsula.
The region of Dalmatia, known for its 3000 year long tradition of wines of high quality, fullness and superb flavors, brings a rare offer of PLAVAC MALI wine. Plavac Mali grows on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, where vineyards bathe in the warm sun whose rays reflect on the soil to create full flavor, producing this wine with sensual aromas.
Mediterranean climate characterized by short and mild winters and long, warm summers bathed in the sun, gives the opportunity to create wines with an ideal layout of alcohol, acids, minerals, tannins, color, proteins and vitamins.
Postup is a premium red wine produced from Plavac mali grape variety, exclusively from the Postup area, on the southern slopes of the Pelješac peninsula.
Plavac Mali is the most important autochthonous grape variety in Croatia. It was created by crossing two indigenous Croatian grape varieties: Crljenka (known in Italy as Primitivo, and in US as Zinfandel) and Dobričić. Plavac realizes its greatest potential in the most extreme weather conditions of the Pelječac peninsula. It is considered the king of red wines.
