WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cavallotto Langhe Nebbiolo 2022 is produced using spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by an extended maceration period of 20-35 days employing the semi-submerged cap method. Fermentation is temperature-controlled at 29°C, and malolactic fermentation occurs in concrete tanks. The wine is then aged for 18 months in large Slavonian oak casks (botti) and a further six months in bottle before release. The estate adheres to organic farming practices.
