Abstract

Vinogradarstvo na otoku Korčuli ima dugu tradiciju koja seže od antičke Grčke i Rimskog
Carstva do suvremenog doba. Unatoč povijesnim promjenama vlasti i brojnim izazovima
poput bolesti, štetnika i političkih prepreka, vinogradarstvo je na Korčuli opstalo i
napredovalo. Danas je otok poznat po autohtonim sortama vinove loze, s naglaskom na bijele
sorte, posebno Pošip bijeli, koji zauzima više od 50% vinograda. Zbog toga je Korčula
prepoznata kao “crni otok bijelih vina“. Izvrsni klimatski uvjeti i specifične mikroklime
omogućuju proizvodnju vrhunskih vina koja pridonose prepoznatljivosti otoka na vinskoj
karti Hrvatske. Korčula time nastavlja svoju bogatu vinsku tradiciju koja je duboko
ukorijenjena u životu lokalnog stanovništva.

Abstract (english)

Viticulture on the island of Korčula has a long tradition, dating back to ancient Greece and the
Roman Empire, continuing through to the modern era. Despite historical changes in
governance and numerous challenges such as diseases, pests, and political obstacles,
viticulture on Korčula has persisted and flourished. Today, the island is known for its
indigenous grape varieties, particularly white grapes, with Pošip bijeli accounting for over
50% of the vineyards. Hence, Korčula is recognized as the "black island of white wines".
Excellent climatic conditions and specific microclimates allow for the production of topquality
wines, contributing to the island's recognition on the wine map of Croatia. Korčula
thus continues its rich winemaking tradition, deeply rooted in the lives of its local inhabitants.
