WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with extended maceration on the skins to extract structure, color, and complex phenolics. The wine is then aged traditionally in large Slavonian oak casks (botti) for at least 24 to 30 months, followed by additional refinement in the bottle before release. This minimal-intervention approach ensures the pure expression of Nebbiolo and the Castiglione Falletto terroir.
