WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Bussia Parusso 2019 begins with hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. Alcoholic fermentation is initiated spontaneously using indigenous yeasts without added sulfites, followed by a long maceration period. The wine then ages for 24 months in new oak barrels, a significant portion of which are new. Following barrel aging, it rests for an additional 12 months in bottle before release. The estate practices sustainable agriculture, with its vineyards entirely grassed.
