WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo BelColle Riserva 10 Anni is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following a manual harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation for 15 days in contact with their skins, taking place in wooden barrels. The wine's maturation is a defining characteristic, with components aged for five years in wooden barrels before being blended and refined for a further five years, resulting in a total of ten years of aging. This extended period is integral to the 'Riserva 10 Anni' designation.
