Interesting Facts
The wine is made from Merlot grapes grown on several hectares of Marco vineyards. The average age of the vines is 100 years. The harvest is collected when the berries reach the optimum level of ripeness. At the winery, the berries undergo maceration in open vats, then manual pressing with a wooden press. Fermentation takes place in open vats with the addition of natural yeast. The wine is aged on its own sediment without the use of sulfur dioxide in oak barrels for 4-5 years and for some time in the bottle.
