Abstract

For Montenegrin vine variety Vranac there is the opinion that its high quality wines can be produced mostly in Mediterranean climates and there is no possibility of over-spreading of this variety out of warmer areas. The most eastern point of the Vranac cultivation area is the Knjaževac wine-growing region (Serbia), the Potrkanje locality, which is characterized by colder climates (B climate Winkler zone) and an average vineyard altitude of 306 m. It is in such environmental conditions that wine from this variety are regularly assessed in the category of best quality wines “vrhunsko K. G. P. K. vino” with purple stamps of quality and origin within the “PDО/ PGI” system of geographical indications of Serbia. In this paper, a detailed wine analysis was carried out in Italy using highly sophisticated laboratory equipment, where wine from the Vranac variety from the Knjaževac wine-growing region (Potrkanje locality) from the 2011, 2013 and 2015 vintage was analyzed. Laboratory analysis of quality parameters, including total anthocyanins, intensity of color, color tone of wine etc., characterization of the quality and specificity of the wine were performed. In this paper certain positive characteristics of quality of Vranac variety wine are determined, regardless of the fact that the vineyards are in completely different climatic and soil conditions in relation to the original conditions of Montenegro.
