WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Fratelli Revello Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba begins with a harvest in mid-September. Fermentation occurs in horizontal roto-fermenters for approximately 6 days with skins, followed by completion in stainless steel tanks for 10-15 days. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in steel. The wine then ages in steel tanks for 10 months before bottling in July. The winery employs sustainable viticulture practices, including targeted treatments with sulfur and copper, avoidance of pesticides and herbicides, and green harvesting to enhance grape concentration. A key aspect of their philosophy is the decision not to fine or filter the wine.
