This is what good wine from the Tribidrag grape tastes like

Tribidrag is an ancient Croatian grape. It grows along the Dalmatian coast and on the islands in the Adriatic Sea. Tribidrag generally produces firm, fruity and warm wines that can contain quite a bit of tannin.

Don't be embarrassed if Tribidrag doesn't ring a bell - you probably know it after all, since it is the same grape as Primitivo from Puglia and Zinfandel from the United States.

For a long time it was assumed that Plavac Mali was the ancestor of the Zinfandel worshipped on the other side of the pond. That the grape came from Croatia turned out to be correct, but extensive research pointed to a different grape. Plavac Mali is the result of a crossing between Tribidrag and an unknown other grape. And so Tribidrag also turns out to be the parent of Vranec, likewise a typical Balkan grape.
