WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Cascina Chicco Barbera d'Alba Granera Alta 2020 begins with a manual harvest of grapes from the Granera Alta vineyard. The vines are managed with two thinning processes to enhance fruit quality. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the wine's freshness and fruit purity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in oak barrels, a process designed to add complexity and subtle spicy notes without dominating the fruit character.
