WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Enzo Bartoli Barbaresco 2020 is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barbaresco DOCG region of Piedmont. The harvest typically takes place in mid-October, taking advantage of the region's microclimates that facilitate earlier ripening for Nebbiolo. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, a key process for developing the wine's structure and aromas. A significant aspect of its production is the aging process, with this vintage spending at least 24 months in oak barrels. This extended maturation period is critical for softening the Nebbiolo tannins and integrating the wine's complex character. MGM Mondo del Vino, the producer, is known for its commitment to sustainable practices across its diverse portfolio of Italian wines.
