WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Ceretto Barolo Brunate 2019 begins with a manual harvest of Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in a mix of large oak barrels and tonneau. A final year of aging in glass precedes the wine's release. This process emphasizes minimal intervention to highlight the purity and character of the Nebbiolo from the Brunate cru.
