WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Karmico begins with destemmed and crushed 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration occur in oak vats for about 15 days, with controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation follows. The wine then undergoes an aging period of 24 months in large wood barrels. This traditional approach emphasizes the natural expression of the Nebbiolo grape and the Barbaresco terroir.
