WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Falletto Vigna le Rocche Riserva 2017 is made from 100% Nebbiolo. After harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation and maceration in stainless steel for 25 days. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 36 months in oak barrels, followed by 24 months of bottle aging. This extended period is part of the Barolo DOCG Riserva regulations and contributes to the wine's development.
