Historic and Prestigious "Feravino"
An historic Croatian winery established in the 1800s. It combines tradition with the latest technology to introduce the appeal of local varieties to the world. To maximize the charm of Frankovka, its flagship variety best suited to the soil and climate of Feričanci, it is fermented for 12 days at 24℃ and aged for one year in large Slavonian oak barrels.

Terroir of Slavonia
The Slavonia region in Eastern Croatia is a wine-producing area blessed with fertile soil and a warm climate. It is characterized by concentrated aromas due to large diurnal temperature variations and rich fruit flavors produced by clay and loam soils. This environment, where red wine production has traditionally flourished, nurtures the freshness and elegance of Frankovka.
