WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Crissante Alessandria Langhe Nebbiolo 2021 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes harvested manually in early October. Fermentation occurs over approximately 10 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks with skin contact. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 12 months in second-use 225-liter barrels. The winery is a family-run estate established in 1958, with the current generation focusing on traditional winemaking methods with precision.
