The Croatian Mareština grape produces fairly full-bodied, not overly distinctive white wines. It's typically used for blending with other grape varieties.
Mareština grows on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. Here, it's planted in arid, steep vineyards under the hot sun, right on the sea. It sounds rather exotic, Mareština. But research has shown that it is identical to the Italian Malvasia Bianca Lunga or Malvasia Bianca Toscana, a grape that has been cultivated in Tuscany since time immemorial. So, it must have been transported from Croatia to Italy at some point, or vice versa. Incidentally, the Italians also use this grape for blending.
