WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo Ravera are fermented in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures, with maceration lasting between 8 to 28 days. Native yeasts are employed, and malolactic fermentation typically occurs in steel or barrique. The wine then ages for around 24 months, utilizing a combination of French oak barrels, large casks, and stainless steel tanks. A minimum of 8-10 months of bottle aging precedes its release.
