WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Prapò 2019 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, a technique that aids in the extraction of color and tannins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 24 months in oak barrels, utilizing a mix of barrique and traditional larger botti. This aging process is designed to develop the wine's structure, suppleness, and long-term aging potential, reflecting Ceretto's commitment to showcasing the unique characteristics of the Prapò vineyard.
