WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Castrum Roche Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown on the estate's 2-hectare vineyard in La Morra. Viticulture follows sustainable and organic principles, with no herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts to capture the authentic character of the grapes and terroir. The standard bottling is aged in stainless steel for several months to maintain freshness and fruit purity. A separate 'Legno' bottling, aged in oak barrels, is also available. Production volumes are expected to be small, reflecting the vineyard size.
