WINE MAKING PROCESS
The BelColle Barbaresco Gallina 2020 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following a manual harvest in early October, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. A post-fermentation maceration of 22-25 days is employed. Malolactic fermentation is completed in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 24 months in large oak barrels, followed by 6 months of bottle aging before release.
