Takale: Bakar-Praputnjak Dry Stone Walls

Marija Borovičkić ; Zagreb

Abstract

Over the Bakar Bay, below the village of Praputnjak, spread the dry walls of the Takale terraces, where the people of Praputnjak cultivated vine and produced excellent indigenous sparkling wine Bakarska vodica. Since wine growing had been neglected over time, a demanding and ambitious project of revitalization of stone terraces and vine planting was initiated in 2001. The goal was not only to preserve tradition and restore a lost segment of economy, but also to attract tourists. Praputnjak's specifity is the fact that, due to men's absence, women played the main role in the vineyards. The old wine growers of praputnjak told their stories, talked about their way of life and the knoweledge of wine growing, happy that the project has been initiated, but also sceptical toward new practices and modern wine-growing methods.
