WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2020 Barolo Ravera undergoes a meticulous winemaking process. Grapes are hand-sorted three times before fermentation in vertical vats, which lasts 55 days and includes submerged cap maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously. The wine is then aged for 28 months in large Slavonian oak casks (25-50 hl). The G.D. Vajra estate is committed to organic viticulture, employing practices like cover cropping to maintain soil health and biodiversity.
