The white grape variety comes from Croatia, from the island Korčula.

The parentage (parenthood) is unknown. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2002, she is a parent of Pošip Bijeli. Nothing is known about a possible relationship with the red variety Bratkovina Crna. The medium to late-maturing vine produces fresh, acidic white wines, which are mostly blended with the Pošip Bijeli variety. It is cultivated in the region of Srednja/Juzna Dalmacija (Central and Southern Dalmatia), which includes the island Korčula In 2016, however, no stocks were recorded (statistics Kym Anderson).
