WINE MAKING PROCESS
The BelColle Barbaresco Pajoré 2019 begins with grapes harvested in mid-October from the Langhe hills. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel tanks for around 40 days at 28°C, with daily pump-overs to enhance extraction. The wine then matures for 18 months in oak barrels, followed by an additional 6 months of bottle aging. This process adheres to the strict aging requirements for Barbaresco DOCG, which mandates a minimum of 26 months total aging, including at least 9 months in barrel.
