This dry quality red wine (Kakovostno Vino) with controlled origin comes from the Pelješac peninsula around one hundred kilometres north-east of the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. This wine won a gold medal at the Paris Wine Exhibition back in 1910. The area named after the small village of the same name on the south-west side of the peninsula near the rocky Adriatic coast around the village of Potomje is characterised by 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. The name and the area of origin have been internationally protected since 1961. Dingac is made from overripe, semi-dried grapes of the autochthonous Plavac Mali grape variety . The ruby to violet-coloured and oily wine has an alcohol content of between 13 and 15% vol. It is one of the country's top red wines and is also known as the "Croatian Châteauneuf-du-Pape". See also the Plavac Mali wines Faros and Postup.
