WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Mosconi begins with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at high temperatures, followed by a 30-day skin maceration. Post-fermentation, the wine ages for approximately 30 months, primarily in large Slavonian oak 'botti,' with a portion also aging in French oak barrels. This method aims to develop the wine's structure, complexity, and aging potential.
