WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Barolo DOCG Lazzarito Vigna La Delizia 2019 involves 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the Lazzarito vineyard. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes a significant aging period, traditionally in large Slavonian oak casks (botti). This extended maturation is crucial for developing the wine's complexity, softening its tannins, and allowing it to express the characteristics of its specific vineyard site and the vintage conditions. Fontanafredda's approach is rooted in organic viticulture and a philosophy of producing wine as a natural element for sharing.
