WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Garesio 2015 begins with 100% Nebbiolo grapes harvested in October. Fermentation and maceration on the skins occur for an extended period of 35-40 days in stainless steel tanks, utilizing techniques such as pumping over and délestage, with submerged cap fermentation for the latter part of the maceration. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in large Austrian oak casks (botti) for 18-30 months. It then undergoes further aging in cement tanks and approximately 12 months in bottle before release. The producer emphasizes sustainable farming practices and certified organic grape cultivation.
