The winemaking process for Barolo Gramolere 2019 begins with hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. The wine undergoes a traditional maceration on the skins for 25 days, a technique designed to extract color, tannins, and flavor.

Fratelli Alessandria employs organic farming practices in their vineyards, though they are not officially certified.
