WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Antico Monastero Barbaresco is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, typically in stainless steel tanks, to extract key compounds. The wine then adheres to Barbaresco DOCG regulations, requiring a minimum of 26 months of aging, with at least 9 months in wooden barrels. This process is designed to develop the wine's structure and aromatic profile.
