WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Barale Fratelli is guided by a commitment to tradition and organic viticulture. Grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously selected. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts, followed by extended maceration. The wine is then aged for a significant period in large, neutral oak casks (botti), a traditional method that preserves the purity of the Nebbiolo grape. The final bottling is done without fining or filtration, ensuring the wine's integrity and character are fully expressed.
