This wine is produced only in exceptional years. Hand picking grapes during the night to preserve freshness and varietal aromas. After manual sorting, the grapes are gently crushed and macerated in tanks for 15-30 days depending on the year and degree of extraction. The wine matures for 18-24 months in used Croatian, French and American barrels in order to preserve the varietal aroma as well as possible. After bottling, it ages in the bottle for a minimum of one year before being put on the market. The wine has a deep ruby color, the aroma of ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit, and you can feel chocolate and red and black pepper. A very complex body with soft tannins and nice acidity gives a balanced and special wine.
