WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Gheppio Langhe Nebbiolo begins with destemming and crushing the Nebbiolo grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place over 8-10 days at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C, with maceration on the skins for approximately 6-8 days to extract color and tannins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in steel tanks. The grapes are sourced from vineyards within the Langhe region, with a maximum yield of 9 tons per hectare. Harvest typically occurs in October.
