WINE MAKING PROCESS
Following a soft pressing, the Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo Mosconi undergo a long maceration. Alcoholic fermentation is initiated spontaneously using indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulfites. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months, followed by further aging in the bottle at a controlled temperature. The Parusso winery emphasizes sustainable agriculture and biodynamic practices, integrating technological progress with a respect for tradition and the rediscovery of ancient vineyard arts.
