Zagorsko

Zagorsko refers to a type of Croatian white wine produced in the Zagorje region of northern Croatia. This region, known for its rolling hills and vineyards, is the primary area where the grapes for Zagorsko are cultivated. The wine is typically made from local grape varieties, most notably the native white grape called Škrlet, though other white grapes may also be used in blends.

The character of Zagorsko wine can vary depending on the specific vineyard and winemaking techniques employed. Generally, it is known for its fresh, dry, and often fruity profile. Common aromatic notes include green apple, pear, and sometimes floral undertones. Its acidity is usually well-balanced, making it a refreshing and versatile wine.

Zagorsko is often enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with lighter dishes such as fish, poultry, and salads. The wine's accessibility and moderate price point make it a popular choice for everyday consumption within Croatia. It represents a significant part of the viticultural heritage of the Zagorje region and contributes to the diverse landscape of Croatian wines. Production is primarily focused on local consumption, with limited export.
