WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Demarie Langhe Dolcetto is vinified using traditional methods. Dolcetto grapes undergo fermentation, often at controlled temperatures. Due to the grape's inherent color, maceration periods are typically kept short. Following fermentation, the wine may be aged in stainless steel tanks or carefully selected wooden containers, with the aim of preserving its fresh fruit characteristics. These wines are generally produced for relatively early consumption.
