WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata are handpicked in October. Following de-stemming and pressing, alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel containers for three to four weeks, employing the submerged cap maceration technique. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel. The wine is then aged for approximately two years in 25 hl oak barrels, followed by about one year of bottle refinement before release.
