WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barbaresco Canova Tenuta San Mauro begins with a harvest in early to mid-October. The Nebbiolo grapes undergo fermentation and maceration for 20 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 16-18 months in oak barrels. It then benefits from an additional 12-18 months of aging in the bottle before its release. Tenuta San Mauro utilizes integrated pest management in its vineyards.
