WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bosio Passato Barbera d'Alba is produced from 100% Barbera grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional red wine fermentation with a 20-day period of controlled-temperature maceration in stainless steel tanks, utilizing selected yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in 5000 L Slavonian oak barrels, with a subsequent short period of bottle aging before release. The grapes are cultivated in Canale at an altitude of 300 meters on clayey-calcareous soil.
