VINIFICATION
Our premium Babić wine is produced from carefully selected grapes sourced from the finest vineyard sites around Šibenik. The grapes are hand-harvested, with low yields from vines aged 30-50 years and undergo strict selection both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Fermentation is traditional, lasting 7-10 days in open stainless steel tanks. The young wine is aged in stainless steel tanks until the first racking, after which it matures for 12-18 months in 225-liter French oak barrels. Once optimal maturity is achieved, the wine is bottled in 0.75 L bottles.
CHARACTER
Babić Reserve Piližota represents the highest expression of the Babić variety and the dedication of our family winery to premium quality. The wine is characterized by a dark ruby-garnet colour and complex aromas of ripe dark fruit, dried plums and black cherries, complemented by subtle spicy and mineral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and well-structured, with pronounced mature tannins and a long, elegant finish. This indigenous Dalmatian wine carries the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), the highest level of protection guaranteeing its authenticity and origin. As a premium label created for the USA, Babić Reserve Piližota combines authenticity of origin, the strength of its terroir and a style tailored to the demands of the American market.
