Vinification and maturing: Alcohol fermentation begins at the temperature of 25 to 28°C for 10 to 15 days. The malolactic fermentation and the maturation period take place in small oak casks over the course of 36 months which help balance the initially energetic acids and tannins. What follows next is the blending and the ageing of wine in a big wooden barrel over the span of several months, finishing with an additional 6 months spent in a bottle where the wine is further matured and balanced.
Color: Dark ruby red
Bouquet: Ripe Maraska cherry, caramelized plums, vanilla cinnamon, dark chocolate and herbal notes of green tea and mint
Taste: Savory and fruity, to be brief. Fresh, fruity, savory and very smooth. Its freshness leaves both a clean taste in the mouth, as well as a completely unambiguous taste of red fruit and mild delicate spices. Tannins are gentle and well-rounded.
Gastronomic recommendation: Cured meat products, salami, prosciutto ham, grilled homemade game sausage, lamb under the “peka”, game “žgvacet” with gnocchi or polenta
