The Pili\u017eota family wine route <\/h3><\/div>

Pili\u017eota Winery is the heir to a longstanding family tradition of viticulture and wine production, deeply rooted in the Dalmatian way of life - where the struggle for survival and the desire for progress intertwine with a passion for crafting noble wines. 

The \u0160ibenik wine region has long been known for its viticulture and we carry on this legacy through the production of premium indigenous red wines - Babi\u0107 and Plavina.\u2028Since the restoration of our family winery in 2002, our goal has been to unite traditional and modern approaches to winemaking. This includes cultivating vines without pesticides, maintaining low grape yields per vine, hand-harvesting, fast grape processing, fermenting and aging wines in a modern wine cellar.

After establishing a strong presence in Croatia, a major challenge was introducing our wines to the USA.
Thanks to persistence and hard work, we succeeded and since 2010, we have been the first producers of indigenous Croatian Babi\u0107 and Plavina wines for the US market. Today, we distribute most of our wines there, to one of the most important global markets.
