WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process begins with hand-harvested and meticulously sorted Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation with maceration lasts 12 to 15 days, employing indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation follows between the subsequent fall and spring. The wine undergoes aging in stainless steel vats and then in medium to large oak barrels for 24 months, with some indications of longer aging in Slavonian and Austrian oak. Bottle aging for at least 12 months precedes release.
