David Skoko: Motor, loza, kuhaca
Plešivica’s coexistence with nature
S1 • E7 Nov 15, 2023 26m
On the hills near the bustle of Zagreb, David Skoko discovered a true green oasis. The Plešivica winemaking family Tomac lives by the motto I did not inherit the land from my ancestors, I borrowed it from my children. The family’s natural sparkling wine from an amphora is on Decanter’s list of the seventy-five most important wines in the world. Their connection with nature inspired David to try his hand at preparing a lunch from the wild offerings of the region, so he went – into the forest – for ingredients. We will find out which wild herbs are edible, how to prepare them, and what is the most difficult part of biodynamic vine cultivation.
