WINE MAKING PROCESS
Mauro Veglio's Barbera d’Alba Cascina Nuova 2021 is produced from 100% Barbera grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation with skin maceration in stainless steel tanks for about 30 days at controlled temperatures. This is followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes an 18-month aging period in small oak barrels, including some new oak. Grapes are sourced from younger vines in the Cascina Nuova vineyard, located at elevations between 250 and 300 meters.
