WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Manzone Barolo Castelletto is produced using traditional methods. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in steel tanks, followed by a 30-40 day maceration with soft pumping over. The wine is then aged for approximately 30 months in neutral oak casks (botte), with a short period in concrete tanks before bottling. The winery employs sustainable and organic farming practices, aiming for low yields and minimal intervention, including no clarification or filtration and minimal sulfur dioxide additions.
