WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Amalia Barolo DOCG is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following harvest, the grapes typically undergo fermentation in stainless steel or concrete tanks. A key aspect of Barolo production is extended aging, traditionally in large oak casks (botti), which allows for the gradual softening and integration of the wine's structure and tannins. The 2013 vintage's characteristics suggest that this aging process was essential for developing its finesse. Amalia Cascina in Langa has also embraced sustainable practices, beginning a conversion to fully organic agriculture in 2019, which was certified in 2022.
