Ivo Duboković is Croatia's leading boutique winemaker and certainly one of the most serious one in Croatia. His vineyards are located on the island Hvar, one of the warmest and sunniest islands in the Adriatic spreading over micro localities of Sveti Nikola and Medvid bod. Soil structure ranges from limestone pebble, white sand with small percentage of red soil, giving an ideal nutrition source to indigenous varieties such as Plavac Mali, Drnekuša, Prč, Kuč, Bogdanuša and Maraština (also known as Rukatac).

Laganini is named after that excellence. Laganini on Croatian means something like “With ease”. Winemaker wanted to communicate that this wine can be drank “with ease” because of the small alcohol percentage. Variety is an croatian indigenous variety called Drnekuša.

Final result is wine with seductive aroma of strawberries and ripe cherries, seasoned with Mediterranean herbs.
