WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Margheria 2020 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Viticulture is practiced organically, with green harvesting and hand-sorting of grapes. Maceration on the skins lasts 55-60 days with a submerged cap, followed by spontaneous fermentation at controlled temperatures. The wine then ages for 30 months in large oak barrels (25-50HL) of varying origins. Production is limited to 5,500 bottles.
