About us
OPG Ivo Milatić
Our mission is to live on island Hvar and to produce high-quality wines and olive oil.
Dating back in the 4th century BC, Ancient Greeks brought a vine to this sunny island, and planted it in the fertile Stari Grad Plain. Through centuries of rich past/history, Hvar residents skillfully nurtured their vines, giving them all the effort and splendor of the Mediterranean.
Our vineyards and olive groves are predominantly located in the area of cadastral municipalities Vrbanj and Stari Grad. We cultivate 2 hectares of vineyards and 5 hectares of olive groves, all of which are located within the protected area of Stari Grad Plain. The field on which all our plots are located (the ancient Greeks called it: “Faroska hora”; the Romans called it: “Ager”), in 2008 was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The plots take their place in the best preserved ancient Greek landscape in the Mediterranean. These fields still have their traditional names: Dračevica, Prešica, Orišac, Ograda, Igrališće, Rašnik, Parhnišće, Frekovica, Turbalovo, Podborje i Krastavica. The wine cellar is located in Vrbanj, in an area called Vir.
Work in the vineyard is just as important to us as work in the winery. Our vineyards consist of local vine varieties (Plavac mali, Bogdanuša) and locally adapted varieties (Merlot, Trebbiano Toscano, Pošip, KUČ). Each wine has its own story, which begins in the vineyard, is enriched in the winery and such comes to Your table.
Milatić wines, with a long family history, are a combination of traditional and modern approaches to grape growing and wine production.
Namely, we inherited the tradition of viticulture and winemaking from our grandfathers and father. From early childhood we have accumulated knowledge and experience about growing vines and wine production, which we have today, enriched with knowledge and technology, greatly improved, and we will continue to do so.
