Slavonian oak for at least one year, then it refines more in the bottle.

WINEMAKER'S
RECOMMENDATIONS
If stored for longer periods, the bottle should be opened some time
before serving or decanted for a few minutes. Serve at 64° 68°F.
Though not a Riserva, this wine has many traits of a reserved vintage,
making it a great companion to full flavored entrees such as roasts,
wild game and indeed any red meat or pasta.
