WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Liste 2016 involves traditional winemaking techniques. Nebbiolo grapes are likely fermented and macerated to extract color and tannins. Aging is a significant component, with Barolo DOCG regulations requiring a minimum of 38 months, at least 18 of which are in oak. The producer's commitment to tradition suggests the use of large Slavonian oak casks (botti) for extended maturation, allowing for gradual integration of flavors and softening of tannins. Vineyard management emphasizes meticulous care, including the use of organic products.
