TIMES OF HARVEST AND WINE-MAKING
Grapes are generally harvested during the first decade of October, and, after an accurate selection are stemmed and very softly crushed according the traditional “red” method, which includes a long-term maceration in stainless steel process tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C . Once malolactic fermentation has taken place, wine ages inside Slavonian oak barrels (25 hl each) for approximately six months, after which bottling takes place. Bottle refining takes place for 2 to 3 months before the wine can be sold.
