WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barbera d'Asti Rosso Fuoco 2022 is produced using traditional vinification methods. The grapes undergo fermentation at 25-28°C with a 10-day maceration on the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in the bottle, with some indications of medium aging in barrel. Vite Colte employs organic farming practices and eco-friendly management across their vineyards, with a portion in organic conversion.
