WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels in the Dealu Mare DOC. Each variety is vinified separately to optimize its unique varietal expression. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with prolonged skin contact to extract deep color and structured tannins. The wine is then aged in French oak barriques for approximately 8 to 12 months to soften the tannins and introduce complex secondary characteristics before final blending and bottling.
