WINE MAKING PROCESS
BelColle Barbaresco is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The grapes are cultivated using sustainable and low-impact viticulture practices, including manual harvesting and selection, organic fertilization, and integrated pest management. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats with selected indigenous yeasts, without forced intervention, for a period of 10 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 24 months in oak barrels, then spends an additional 6 months in bottle before release. This process adheres to the strict aging requirements of the Barbaresco DOCG appellation.
