Pressing the grapes with their feet in the large vat, as centuries-old peasant tradition dictates on the Karst plateau, the grapes harvested on September 24th experience their own celebration, and the man celebrates it with gratitude, paying homage to Queen Vitovska. Seven days of maceration on the skins allow the wine to develop and reveal its full strength, making for a truly great vintage. After twelve months of aging in four barriques, it's time to enclose the secret of a memorable year in the bottle.
