WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nebbiolo grapes for the Gallina Barbaresco are hand-harvested in mid-October. Fermentation and maceration take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for approximately 20 to 25 days with daily pumping over. The wine is then aged for about 24 months in traditional, large Slavonian oak casks (botti), followed by additional refinement in the bottle before release. This traditional approach avoids the heavy oak influence of barriques, preserving the pure, terroir-driven expression of the Neive Cru.
