Dingač is a Croatian wine-growing region located on the Pelješac Peninsula. The region is a protected and the most famous site for Plavac mali—native Croatian grape that produces highly-prized red wines. Due to its small size, the area is often called a microregion.
It is located on the steep southern slopes of the peninsula, between the villages Trstenik and Podobuče. The combination of specific climate and terrain provides low yields, but the result is an incredibly concentrated wine and what is considered as the supreme expression of Plavac mali.
Dingač wines have a perfect balance of alcohol and acidity. They are rich in soft tannins and intensely flavored, while the aromas are reminiscent of ripe, stewed berries, and dry fruit. The uneven ripening of the grape often affects the alcohol content in these wines—which can sometimes reach the highest possible limits.
Dingač pairs well with hearty and spicy dishes. It works exceptionally well with roasted or braised red meat, lamb, or game.
