Soil composition |
Excellent balance of sand, silt, limestone and clay. |
Vinification |
Maceration on the skins lasts 10 days, during which periodic pumping-over is carried out so that the must can gather all elements in the skins and gently extract the colour. Racking occurs only when all the sugar has been transformed into alcohol. Racked into specially made vitrified concrete vats with cork insulation, the wine maintains a post-fermentation temperature of about 22°C for a long time. In this way, malolactic fermentation starts and ends spontaneously over the next two months. |
Ageing |
Part of the wine is aged for about two years in 30- and 35-hectoliter Slavonian and French oak barrels. The remaining part is aged in small, 225-liter, medium-toasted French oak barrels. The wine completes its ageing in the bottle for 12 months before marketing. |
Pairing |
This wine is particularly adapted to red meats, braised dishes and game in general. It is an ideal pairing for cheeses and typical local cuisine. |
