WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Guasti Barolo DOCG is produced through traditional vinification methods. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected. The wine then undergoes an extensive aging process, spending 30 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional 2 years and 6 months of refinement in oak. It is then rested in the bottle for at least six months before market release. The producer, Guasti Clemente e Figli S.P.A, has a history of innovation, including being among the first to label wines by grape origin and introduce the concept of 'cru' vineyards.
