WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ceretto Blangè Langhe Arneis is produced from organically grown grapes. A significant winemaking technique employed is cryomaceration, where grape skins are kept in contact with the must at low temperatures (around 5°C) for approximately 12 hours. This process is designed to maximize the extraction of aromatic compounds while maintaining the fruit's cleanliness and delicacy. Fermentation takes place at low temperatures, followed by approximately five months of aging in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees. The grapes are sourced from Vezza d'Alba and Castellinado.
