WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne 2019 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following harvest in October, the grapes undergo maceration for 10-15 days. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 83°F (28.3°C). The wine is then aged for 24 months in large format casks (20-100 hl, with 20% second-use barriques) and a further 12 months in bottle before release. This process is designed to develop the characteristic structure and aging potential of Barolo.
