WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Barolo emphasizes traditional techniques. Following harvest, the Nebbiolo grapes undergo long macerations in cement tanks. Subsequently, the wine is aged for an extended period in large Slavonian oak botti. This method is characteristic of the producer's commitment to classic Barolo production, focusing on developing the wine's structure and complexity through slow maturation.
