WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Barbaresco Montersino San Biagio involves a meticulous approach to winemaking, beginning with the grapes cultivated under organic farming practices. Fermentation and maceration are extended, typically lasting around 40 days at controlled temperatures, to maximize extraction from the Nebbiolo grapes. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in oak barrels, with the estate utilizing both historic cellar vessels and newer tonneaux and barriques. This aging process is crucial for developing the wine's structure and complexity, adhering to the strict aging requirements for Barbaresco DOCG wines.
