WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Piero Busso Barbera d'Alba Majano 2021 is produced using 100% Barbera grapes. Fermentation and maceration occur in stainless steel tanks, often with extended maceration periods of up to 60 days, utilizing native yeasts. The wine is then aged for approximately one year in various-sized oak barrels, followed by at least six months of bottle aging. The estate practices organic farming, using cover crops and hand-harvesting. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
