The 2019 vintage benefited from a balanced growing season, contributing to the wine's structure and aging potential.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Ca' di Press Barolo 2019 is produced using traditional methods. The Nebbiolo grapes undergo maceration on the skins for 15-30 days in stainless steel tanks, with fermentation initiated by indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 20 months in large Slavonian oak casks (botte grande). It is then aged further in bottle for at least six months before release. The winemaking process emphasizes minimal intervention, with the wine neither clarified nor filtered.
