WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barbaresco Asili Falletto di Bruno Giacosa 2019 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo. Fermentation follows traditional methods. The wine is aged for 24 to 36 months in wooden barrels, followed by six to twelve months in bottle. The Barbaresco DOCG regulations mandate a minimum of 26 months aging, including 9 months in barrel. Harvest typically occurs in October due to Nebbiolo's late-ripening nature. Production is in very small quantities.
