WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Albino Rocca Barbaresco is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation occurs on the skins for three to four weeks, potentially utilizing submerged cap maceration. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for at least 20 months in large format (20 hl) German and Austrian oak casks. The estate employs integrated viticulture, avoiding herbicides, pesticides, and additives, reflecting a commitment to purity and respect for the terroir.
