WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Crissante Dolcetto d'Alba 2022 is produced from 100% Dolcetto grapes. Following a manual harvest in early September, the grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation for seven days in steel tanks with frequent pumping over. Malolactic fermentation occurs immediately afterward in steel at 20°C. The wine is then aged without any time spent in wood, preserving its fresh, fruit-driven profile.
