The Donkey
Trademark of the Dingač
The donkey was a loyal companion and helped in all the work connected to the supply of material, the maintenance of the vineyards as well as with the transport of the harvested grapes from Dingač to the owners' wine cellars.
Amiable, enduring and loyal to humans, this creature is the embodiment of determination, tenacity and perseverance. It is the symbol of their life strength, the symbol of the burden which the laborers endured throughout their lives. Therefore, it is by right that the donkey was depicted on the oldest labels of Dingač wine and it is also the trademark of the Dingač Co-operative farm.
