WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barriccato 2020 is produced using grapes from Fattoria La Vialla's Tuscan vineyards. Following fermentation, which utilizes natural yeasts, the wine is aged for approximately 22-24 months in oak barriques. A further 6 months of aging in the bottle precedes its release. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Vineyard management emphasizes low yields per hectare.
