WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Barolo Perno G. Mascarello involves traditional winemaking techniques. Nebbiolo grapes are subjected to long fermentation periods, a process designed to maximize the extraction of desirable compounds. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, known as 'botti grandi'. This aging process is regulated by Barolo DOCG standards, requiring a minimum of 38 months of total aging, with at least 18 months spent in oak. The harvest timing for Nebbiolo is determined by the grape's late-ripening characteristics and the specific conditions of the vintage.
