OUR STORY<\/span> BEGINS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAST CENTURY\u2026<\/h2>\n

The first records of the Mali\u0107anin family vineyards date back to the 19th century. Even then, Vuleta Mali\u0107anin cultivated grapevines on his land in his village Jasikovica, in the heart of Serbia, where all Mali\u0107anins living around the world trace their origin. His son Aleksandar continued the family tradition, and at the beginning of the 20th century expanded the family\u2019s vineyards. Aleksandar\u2019s son, Miodrag Mika Mali\u0107anin, was the first formally educated winemaker in the family. Known throughout the Trstenik and \u017dupa region as a skilled winemaker and hospitable host, he was chief cellar master in the famous Trstenik winery Sloga. In the 1950s, he planted new and larger vineyards on his father\u2019s land, and in the 1970s, he planted the first modern Sauvignon Blanc vineyard, one of the first of this variety in the Trstenik region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

TRSTENIK WINE REGION. CARINE STRIP.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Trstenik wine region, located in the Tri Morave region, is among the most famous wine-growing areas in central Serbia, producing high-quality wines for many years.<\/p>\n

The Carine strip, stretching through the villages of Jasikovica and Kamenja\u010da, where Winery Marko cultivates and nurtures its vineyards, not only has exceptional conditions for growing grapevines but also holds historical and cultural importance. According to tradition, the name Carine originates from the fact that in the time of King Lazar Hrebeljanovi\u0107, imperial vineyards existed in this area, and wine was transported from here to Lazar\u2019s city, today\u2019s Kru\u0161evac, through a special ceramic wine pipeline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The Trstenik wine region is located in a valley between the West Morava River and the surrounding hills, which rise towards the southwest.<\/p>\n

The climate is moderately continental, with warm summers and cold winters, which suits the grapevine well. The Carine strip is situated at an altitude of 300\u2013350 meters, characterized by gentle slopes and a southwest exposure, creating ideal conditions for producing high-quality grapes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
