Fermentation occurs in oak vats that are filled to no more than two-thirds capacity and use indigenous yeasts. The fermentation lasts about ten days at a controlled temperature of about 27-31°C. Short pumping overs are carried out in the initial phase, and manual punching down of the cap. In some cases, maceration continues for another 7-10 days after fermentation.
Maturation: The single Nocio Cuvées are aged separately in Slavonian or French oak with a capacity ranging from 5 to 10 hl. Maturation lasts from 18 to 24 months. The final blend is made at the end of the maturation using different percentages of the single Cuvées and according to the characteristics of the harvest.
