WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Massimo Rivetti 2019 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for 12-15 days at controlled temperatures, with skin contact potentially lasting up to 30 days. Native yeasts are utilized. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes 24 months of aging in large Slavonian oak barrels (25 hL). It is then aged for a minimum of 6 months in bottle before release. Vineyard management includes hand-done work, grass removal, and mulching, reflecting the winery's certified organic status. Harvest typically occurs in early October.
