WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Barolo Cannubi Luigi Einaudi 2020 involves the careful cultivation of Nebbiolo grapes from the Cannubi cru. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, likely in large oak or steel vessels, with extended maceration to develop color and structure. The wine is then aged for an extended period, typically in large oak casks (botti) and potentially a portion in tonneaux, followed by further bottle aging. This process aims to refine the wine's tannins and integrate its complex aromatic profile, reflecting the estate's commitment to traditional methods and terroir expression.
