WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Boiolo by Bosco Pierangelo is rooted in tradition. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks, utilizing wild yeasts. Maceration on the skins is extended, lasting between 30 to 40 days to extract color, tannins, and flavor. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a minimum of 24 months, predominantly in large, traditional oak casks (botti grandi). Vineyard management involves manual labor, with careful attention paid to pruning and crop thinning to ensure optimal grape quality.
