The subsequent \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e at controlled temperature lasts for at least forty days, ensuring a balanced extraction of aromas, colour and polyphenolic components. After racking and the completion of malolactic fermentation, maturation continues for four years in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e.
