WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Langhe Nebbiolo 'Freròt' is produced by Santamaria di Walter Viberti using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional red wine fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with maceration lasting around 10 days and fermentation temperatures maintained between 24-28°C for about 15 days.

Harvest typically takes place in early October, with the 2022 vintage noted for its favorable weather conditions that promoted even ripening.
