WINE MAKING PROCESS
BelColle Alta Langa Cuvée Valentina Rosé Nature Extra Brut 2020 is produced using the traditional method, involving secondary fermentation within the bottle. The grapes are fermented partly in steel tanks and partly in new French oak tonneaux. Following this, the wine undergoes an extended aging period of at least 48 months in the bottle at a controlled temperature of 13°C. This extended aging on lees is a key component of its production, contributing to the wine's character and structure.
