Sažetak: Blatina is an autochthonous red wine variety and one of the most prominent in Herzegovina. Wine quality is
influenced by hundreds of chemical compounds, with each contributing to its overall characteristics. Environmental
and climatic factors also significantly affect grape development and, consequently, wine quality. This study aimed
to evaluate the chemical parameters of Blatina wine.
Twenty quality and premium wine samples from the Mostar vineyard, produced during the 2018 and 2019
vintages, were selected for analysis. Standard physicochemical parameters were assessed, including density and
relative density at 20 0
C, alcoholic strength, total dry extract, reducing sugars, ash content, total acidity, volatile
acidity, total and free sulfur dioxide, and pH. All analyses were conducted using reference methods from the
Compendium of International Methods of Wine and Must Analysis. Variance analysis was applied to evaluate the
statistical significance of vintage year and wine quality category on the measured parameters.
The results showed that Blatina wines typically contained 12 to 13.5 vol.% alcohol, with total acidity ranging
from 5 to 7 g/L and total extract from 25 to 32 g/L. The pH values varied between 3.3 and 3.6, while volatile
acidity remained within acceptable enological limits. Statistical analysis revealed that vintage year significantly
influenced alcohol content and total acidity, with wines from 2019 exhibiting slightly higher acidity levels. The
quality category had a notable impact on total extract and sulfur dioxide content, with premium wines showing
slightly higher values compared to quality wines.
Physicochemical analysis of the Blatina wine samples confirmed that their values are aligned with the expected
parameters typical for this wine variety.
