WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Demarie Barbaresco DOCG 2020 is crafted using traditional winemaking methods. Following harvest, the Nebbiolo grapes undergo long maceration on their skins, with fermentation taking place in cement or stainless steel tanks utilizing manual punch-downs. The wine is then aged for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (Botti). A minimum of 3-4 months of bottle aging precedes release. The winery practices organic farming with a strong emphasis on sustainability and biodiversity.
