WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Novantesimo Riserva Paolo Scavino 2011 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation occurs in steel tanks with prolonged maceration to extract phenolic compounds. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 36 months in large, traditional oak barrels. An additional 24 months of bottle aging precedes its release. The winery's approach prioritizes vineyard management and minimal intervention in winemaking to express the terroir.
