WINE MAKING PROCESS
Ciabot Berton employs a traditional winemaking approach for its Barolo. Grapes undergo maceration with skins for at least 16 days in open concrete fermenters or large steel vats at a controlled temperature of 30°C. The wine is then aged for 18 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 6 months in concrete vats and a minimum of 6 months of bottle aging. Vineyard management emphasizes ecological sustainability, with hand-harvesting employed due to the steep terrain.
