WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Perarmando begins with meticulous hand-harvesting of Nebbiolo grapes from prestigious crus, with an emphasis on late picking. After soft pressing, the grapes undergo a long maceration. Fermentation is spontaneous, utilizing indigenous yeasts without the addition of sulfites, with careful temperature and maceration time control. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in small oak barrels, including 50% new French oak, followed by at least 6 months of bottle refinement. Organic farming practices are employed in the vineyards.
