WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pecchenino Barolo San Giuseppe 2017 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following manual harvest, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 28°C for about 20 days, using indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is conducted in concrete tanks. The wine then undergoes 24 months of aging in large French oak botti, followed by a minimum of one year of bottle aging before release. The winery practices sustainable vineyard management, including keeping vineyards grassed over and using organic fertilization.
