WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Barbaresco Riserva Spezie undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period lasting approximately 40 days. This process is followed by extensive aging, a minimum of 50 months for a Riserva, including at least 9 months in oak casks or barrels. This extended maturation is a key element in developing the wine's complexity and structure.
