WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barbera d'Alba Superiore 'Rocche del Santo' is crafted from 100% Barbera grapes, meticulously selected from the family's vineyards in La Morra. Following harvest, the grapes undergo a traditional fermentation process. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, which imparts complexity and structure, before being bottled. This careful approach in the cellar aims to preserve the vibrant fruit characteristics of the Barbera grape while developing a refined and elegant profile.
