After a gentle pressing and destemming of the grapes, the must ferments at a controlled temperature, yielding measured extraction and a delicate balance until malolactic transformation is complete. Ageing takes place for a few months in Slavonian oak barrels. The finished wine exhibits an exceptionally bright ruby colour with scarlet highlights and is immediately broad and soothing on the nose, where small red fruits chase a light trace of spice, pre-announcing a sumptuous palate that is subtly spicy and particularly long on the finish. It pairs splendidly with roast poultry, medium-rare steaks and fatty and medium-matured cheeses.
