WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Casina Valle Asinari Barbera d'Asti is produced from 100% Barbera grapes. Fermentation occurs over 12 days at low temperatures (24-28°C) using indigenous yeasts. Post-fermentation, 70% of the wine matures in stainless steel tanks for 10 months, while the other 30% is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for the same period. The wine is then blended and undergoes a further 6 months of refinement in the bottle.
