| Harvest | Manual harvesting in separate boxes for the individual varieties. A portion of the Croatina grapes, approx. 20%, is harvested late in order to ensure a higher sugar and aroma concentration in the bunches, which is naturally achieved on the plants in the late autumn temperatures. |
| Wine making | Manual harvesting is followed by soft crushing and maceration in contact with the skins for a short period (5-6 days) at a controlled temperature (28-30°C) with three replacements per day, conducted with the aim of respecting the characteristics of the fruit of each variety as much as possible. |
| Aging | The individual wines are then aged in French oak barriques for 12 months, using new wood for the portion of wine made from overripe grapes. After ageing, the wines are finally blended in steel tanks. Bottling follows, conducted with the aim of preserving the wine's fragrant fruit characteristics. |
