WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Antico Monastero Langhe Arneis begins with 36 hours of cold skin contact at 5°C. This is followed by a 15-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature of 15°C, designed to preserve the wine's aromatic profile. The wine then undergoes a 6-month aging period on fine lees in stainless steel tanks. Further refinement in the bottle precedes its release to the market.
