WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Via Nuova is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes cultivated using organic farming methods, with all vineyard work performed manually. After harvest in mid-October, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures for two weeks, with daily punch-downs and pump-overs. The wine is then aged for 24 months in French oak barrels and barriques, including some new oak, followed by a year of bottle aging before release. This meticulous process aims to capture the essence of the Nebbiolo grape and the specific vineyard sites.
