WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Mauro Sebaste Dolcetto d'Alba Contessa Rosalia begins with hand-harvested grapes, selected meticulously after a summer green harvest. Fermentation occurs in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks for 4-6 days, utilizing automatic pumping over and fulling to enhance fruit extraction. Malolactic fermentation follows racking. The wine then undergoes aging for 4-6 months in stainless steel tanks, often incorporating micro-oxygenation. Bottling takes place in the spring after harvest, with a minimum of one month of refinement before release.
