WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Renato Corino Barbera Pozzo 2021 is produced from 100% Barbera grapes. Viticulture emphasizes low yields, with vines averaging 55-60 years old. Grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously selected. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for up to seven days. Malolactic fermentation is completed in barrels or stainless steel. The wine then undergoes aging for 18-20 months in oak, comprising about 20% new barriques and 80% larger wooden casks of varying ages, followed by bottle aging. Annual production is approximately 3,000 bottles.
