WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Barolo begins with a manual harvest in October. Maceration with the skins occurs for 30-40 days in wooden vats, with frequent pumping over. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel barrels. The wine is then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels (2500-5000 liters) for a duration determined by the specific vintage's needs. This approach prioritizes traditional methods to showcase the Nebbiolo grape and the vineyard's terroir.
