- Vinification
- Maceration on the skins for approximately 10 weeks: the tech sheet states the first 90 days in cement cisterns with frequent racking for good colour extraction (this appears to be a producer error, since 90 days exceeds the stated 10-week total; transcribed as published), then more delicate racking on the remaining days to extract all the noble tannins. Malolactic fermentation and maturation in 40 hl Slavonian oak barrels. Matured and refined for 36 to 48 months.
