The aging in Slavonian oak barrels and French oak barriques helps define an elegant and structured style, capable of uniting precision, complexity, and longevity.
Tasting notes

On the palate, it is warm, soft, and balanced, supported by dense tannins and well-integrated freshness. The structure is significant, and the finish is long and consistent with the wine's vocation for aging.
