Lasina is a very thin skinned grape and suitable for a longer maceration of about 24 hours which allows for the full expression of its character. Fresh, elegant and lively, it bursts with aromas of flowers and red fruits with underlying minerality. Lasina is also known by the name of “Black rose“, indicating its gentle and elegant character.

In addition to wine, we produce liqueurs and extra virgin olive oils. Our two liqueurs Black Rose and Likarija are made with our wines and a variety of wild herbs, fruits and flowers showcasing the biodiversity of our area.
