WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Langhe Nebbiolo Leunin 2022 undergoes traditional temperature-controlled vinification. Maceration and alcoholic fermentation occur in temperature-controlled vats for 14-15 days, followed by fermentation in concrete wine tanks at 28°C for 20 days on the skins. The wine is then aged for 12 months in large barrels. Subsequently, it is aged partly in barrique (20-30%) and the remainder in 50 hl oak barrels for about 8-9 months, before filtration and bottling.
