WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Vietti Barbera d’Alba Trevìce involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a common practice to maintain the grape's fresh fruit profile. Malolactic fermentation is often a part of the process, contributing to a softer mouthfeel. The wine then undergoes aging in large oak casks, known as botti, which are traditional in Piedmont. This method of aging allows for gradual maturation and integration of flavors without overwhelming the wine with oak influence. The harvest is timed to ensure the grapes achieve a balance of ripeness and acidity, which are fundamental characteristics of Barbera.
