WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Noi Virna Borgogno begins with hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. Maceration with skins lasts for approximately 10-12 days at controlled temperatures not exceeding 29-31°C, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then undergoes aging in large oak casks (botti grandi) for about 18 to 24 months. Some sources indicate a portion of used barrique may also be employed in the aging process.
