WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Cascina Fontana for this Langhe Nebbiolo involves manual harvesting followed by maceration with skins for about two weeks. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts. The wine then undergoes aging for approximately one year, primarily in large 25-hectoliter Slavic oak barrels or casks, with some time also spent in cement tanks. Crucially, the wines are bottled without any clarifying, filtering, or added sulphites, reflecting a commitment to traditional and natural winemaking methods.
