WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barbera D'Alba Superiore Ciabot Della Luna begins with alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with an emerged cap for 14-15 days, featuring controlled temperature and oxygenation. Post-fermentation, all operations are conducted under nitrogen to preserve aromas and color while limiting sulfite use. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 6-8 months in 250-liter French oak barriques, with 60% new and 40% second-passage barrels. The final two months involve blending in steel tanks before bottling. Viticultural practices include significant leaf area management and multiple passes for manual thinning to reduce yield and ensure uniform ripening, with manual harvesting using small crates.
