Red wine cuvée from Slovenia with the quality wine class PTP defined at the beginning of 2008 from the wine-growing region Bela Krajina in the wine-growing region Posavje. The name means "Black from Metliska".

I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
