WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Cannubi 2021 is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes from a 0.7-hectare plot in the Cannubi cru. The grapes are organically grown, a practice pioneered by winemaker Chiara Boschis in this vineyard. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, involving daily punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, with a specific mix of new and used barrels, followed by a year of bottle aging before release. This meticulous process aims to capture the essence of the terroir and produce a wine of great elegance and structure.
