WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Paolo Scavino Barolo begins with separate vinification for each vineyard plot. Grapes are destemmed and gently crushed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, utilizing indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation then occurs in oak barrels. The wine is aged for 22 months in oak casks: 10 months in neutral French oak barrels for individual plots, followed by 12 months in larger casks. The final blend is a selection of the best plots from the vintage. The winery employs sustainable farming practices, avoiding chemicals and working in harmony with nature. They also focus on minimizing their environmental impact through renewable energy and efficient winemaking.
