WINE MAKING PROCESS
Hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes from the Monvigliero vineyard undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with long maceration on the skins, utilizing a traditional submerged cap technique. The wine is aged for approximately three years in large Slavonian oak casks (botti), followed by refinement in the bottle before release, preserving the delicate aromatics of the Verduno terroir.
