WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sourced from carefully hand-harvested Nebbiolo grapes. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with skin contact to extract color, aromatics, and fine tannins. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged primarily in stainless steel or neutral oak casks to preserve the bright primary fruit characteristics and vibrant acidity of the Nebbiolo grape before bottling.
