  • Agrolaguna has launched Croatia's first non-alcoholic rosé wine, "Rosé Riviera 2025."

Agrolaguna has introduced Croatia's first non-alcoholic rosé wine, named "Rosé Riviera 2025." This de-alcoholized wine, as indicated on its label, undergoes the full process of traditional winemaking, including fermentation and aging in cellars, before the alcohol is removed.

The wine is a blend of several grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Muscat Rose. It presents a slightly darker hue than typical Provençal rosés, with subtle fruity aromas of raspberry and vineyard peach, complemented by hints of citrus. On the palate, it is light, simple, and highly drinkable, offering freshness, juiciness, and a medium finish, described as similar to raspberry juice.

Agrolaguna recommends serving the rosé at 10-12 degrees Celsius, positioning it as an ideal summer beverage, particularly appealing to younger consumers who are increasingly seeking non-alcoholic options in line with global trends. Alongside the rosé, Agrolaguna has also released non-alcoholic red and white wines under the Riviera brand (Riviera Blanc, Riviera Rosé, Riviera Noir), making it the first Croatian producer to offer a complete line of non-alcoholic wines. These wines will initially be available in select restaurants and wine shops.
