After further selection, the grapes are left to dry in a well-ventilated loft for 100 days on the traditional racks known as “arele.” The grapes are pressed in January and a slow fermentation then takes place for 30 days in oak vats, using exclusively indigenous yeasts. Maturation lasts 4 years, for the first year in barriques and for the subsequent 3 years in 35 hl Slavonian oak casks.
