WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Ciabot Berton for their Barolo del Comune di La Morra begins with hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled concrete tanks, a traditional method that preserves the grape's inherent qualities. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a significant aging period of at least 18 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. This is followed by a further refinement period, which for the 2021 vintage includes six months in steel vats. The wine is then aged in bottle for at least six months before release. The estate employs integrated pest management and respects biodiversity, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture.
