After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a natural drying process for approximately 90 days, losing 40% of their weight. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with cold maceration followed by a long alcoholic fermentation and post-fermentation maceration. Subsequently, the wine ages for 24 months in barriques, 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, and an additional six months in the bottle.
