A Wine Diary

This is a Montenegrin premium red wine. The famous French variety has preserved its best properties in the vineyards around Podgorica but it has also gained gentleness and subtleties thanks to the sun, stones, and vines and the contrast of Mediterranean and continental climate.

This is a very nice Merlot, best enjoyed with some Montenegrin pršut (think prosciutto or Parma ham but better) and lighter cheese as a starter. If you are in Montenegro, take a trip to the Lov?en mountain for some breathtaking views. On your way down, stop in the village of Njeguši, where exceptional pršut and cheese is made and sold by the producers themselves, the villagers.

Price: RSD 250 (€3.5)
Score: 7/10
