Croatia has three main wine regions:
- The eastern continental region,
- The western continental region,
- Coastal region.
The wine’s character varies between these regions because the climate in these regions is very different. By the different styles of wines best to differ the wines is:
- In the north coastal region (Istria) you have a lot of sunny days so the wines are drier with a more strong tone. Most of them are white wines. They are very similar to Italian style wines and the most distinctive are Malvasia, Sauvignon, Žlahtina.
- In the southern coastal region (Dalmatia) the wines vary a lot because of the microclimates and harsh nature. But here you can find some of the finest wines in Croatia. The Dalmatian sortes of wines are mostly reds. The most distinctive are Dingač, Pošip, and Plavac Mali.
