WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barbera d'Asti Superiore Cascina Vigna 2019 is produced using traditional methods. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel and cement vats with extended maceration times, followed by malolactic fermentation in cement. The wine is then aged for about 12 months in a combination of large oak barrels and barriques, before being bottle-aged prior to release. Manual harvesting and careful vineyard management are integral to the process.
