The Viticulture of the Sunny Scree

hum_the_viticulture_of_the_sunny_scree

The limestone-rich, sun-drenched slopes of the Herzegovinian valleys produce a distinct, high sugar grape that is the envy of the Adriatic. By establishing a royal monopoly on the export of Žilavka and Blatina wines, we can create a luxury trade that bypasses the volatility of the grain markets. This 'Liquid Diplomacy' allows our court to maintain a lifestyle that rivals the Italian city-states, using high-end wine exports as a diplomatic lubricant to secure favorable treaties with the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Naples.
