WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Barolo Ravera Paolo Scavino involves hand-harvesting grapes from the Ravera cru, typically in late October. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks for over 12 days, often employing submerged cap maceration and indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for an extended period, predominantly in large Slavonian oak casks (botti), which is a traditional method for Barolo. This approach prioritizes preserving the distinct characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape and the Ravera terroir.
