WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Barolo begins with a 8-10 day maceration in steel vats at controlled temperatures. Following this, malolactic fermentation takes place in barrique. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French barriques, with 25% being new, followed by an additional 12 months in large casks or barrels. A final period of 8 months in stainless steel tanks or bottle aging precedes its release. This multi-stage aging process is designed to develop complexity and structure.
