About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested only at optimal ripeness. After destemming and gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless-steel tanks at approximately 28 °C, followed by traditional maceration in contact with the skins and seeds. Malolactic fermentation follows.

Ageing

The wine ages in Slavonian oak barrels for nine months, then matures briefly in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

Bright, juicy and rich.
