WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Barolo Boscareto Principiano Giuseppe 2018 involves traditional winemaking techniques. Following harvest, the Nebbiolo grapes undergo maceration and fermentation.

This extended aging period is a hallmark of Barolo production, contributing to the wine's structure and complexity.
