🌟 A bold and wild Croatian red—inky, spicy, and full of untamed character.

👁 In the Glass:
Pitch black with deep violet reflections—dark, dense, and intense.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and brooding, with notes of blackberry compote, crushed black pepper, grape stems, and cured tobacco. Earthy and raw with a touch of wild herb.

👅 On the Palate:
Rich and fruit-driven with muscular tannins and a vibrant acidity. Juicy black fruit is layered with pepper spice, rustic earthiness, and a savoury edge. Unfiltered texture and natural energy carry through to a bold, lasting finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Best with grilled lamb, game meats, truffle pasta, or aged hard cheeses. Also pairs well with mushroom stews or wild boar ragù.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drink now for its raw intensity, or cellar for 5–8 years to allow the tannins to soften and the flavours to integrate.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Clai’s Baracija Refosco is a fearless expression of Istrian terroir—organic, unfiltered, and deeply rooted in nature. A wine for adventurers and lovers of wild, characterful reds.
