WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Amalia Barbera d'Alba 2019 is produced using traditional winemaking processes. Fermentation occurs on the skins in steel tanks with controlled temperatures. Post-fermentation, the wine typically ages in stainless steel tanks, with potential for time in large oak barrels followed by bottle aging. These techniques are employed to extract color and flavor from the grapes and to develop the wine's structure and aromatic profile.
