WINE MAKING PROCESS
The La Gironda Barbera d'Asti La Lippa 2022 is produced from 100% Barbera grapes. The winemaking process involves de-stemming and gentle pressing, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures (28-30°C). Malolactic fermentation also occurs in stainless-steel. The wine is then aged for a few months on its lees in steel tanks to maintain its freshness and lively character.
