WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mauro Veglio Barolo Gattera 2020 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts, followed by a maceration period of 20-25 days on the skins. The wine is then aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, with approximately 25% being new oak and the rest neutral. Vineyard management includes trellising with thick leaves for sun protection and netting against hail. The winery avoids chemical treatments in favor of natural methods.
