Indigenous Dalmatian Wines with a View to the World
Piližota Winery is located in the Šibenik region, an area where a rich tradition of viticulture and winemaking has been cultivated for centuries. Here, among stone, sun and sea, wines are created that faithfully reflect the character of Dalmatia and its indigenous grape varieties.
Babić and Plavina hold a special place in our production – varieties that represent an important part of Croatia’s wine heritage and the identity of the Šibenik wine-growing region.
Through dedicated work in the vineyard and cellar, Piližota Winery strives to preserve the authenticity of these varieties and present them to wine lovers in Croatia and around the world.
The Šibenik Region – the Natural Home of Babić and Plavina
The Šibenik area is one of the most important wine-growing regions of Dalmatia.
The Mediterranean climate, abundant sunshine, influence of the sea and characteristic rocky soils create conditions that enable the production of wines with a strong identity
This terroir is particularly well suited to Babić and Plavina.
Babić produces wines with a rich structure, pronounced aromas and great ageing potential.
Plavina stands out for its elegance, fruitiness and drinkability, and represents an important part of the Dalmatian winemaking tradition.
