WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Ricossa Campolibero Barbaresco Organic involves the vinification of 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, a key process for extracting essential components. The wine then matures for a minimum of 26 months, with at least 9 months in wooden barrels, as mandated by Barbaresco DOCG regulations. This aging process is integral to developing the wine's structure and aromatic profile. The 'Organic' designation indicates that the grapes were cultivated according to specific organic farming standards.
