WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Altre Vie Barolo 2020 is crafted with a philosophy of minimal intervention and maximum expression of terroir. Sourced from biodynamically farmed plots in the Langhe, the Nebbiolo grapes likely undergo spontaneous fermentation, followed by a patient aging process in large Slavonian oak casks. This approach respects the natural cycles and allows the unique characteristics of the vineyard and vintage to shine through, embodying the 'other paths' of winemaking that founders Colombo and Scarzello champion.
