Grown at an altitude of 330 meters above sea level, the grapes are cultivated using the Guyot method with a planting density of 4,800 vines per hectare. Hand-harvested around mid-October, the grapes undergo a careful vinification process. The must is fermented at 26-27°C for 8-10 days, with de-stemming and soft crushing to enhance color and aromatic extraction. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation before being aged for 24 months—12 months in small Slavonian and French oak barrels and tonneaux, and an additional 12 months in bottle. This aging process is meticulously managed with weekly top-ups and tasting tests to ensure optimal evolution.
