Back to my
little Russian supermarket round the corner! This time it was a real premiere
for me. I never ever had wine from Montenegro. I can't really tell you why
they had this Montenegrin wine in a Russian supermarket in Germany!?! Maybe a certain cyrillic connection?!?
Vranac or
Vranec is an autochthons varietal of the central-southern Balkan (Montenegro, Serbia,
Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo) which produces wines with a firm tannic
structure, plenty of potency and extreme lively acid. Apparently the actual
name means something like “black stallion”. I hope it won’t be a very wild one!
