WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Paolo Scavino Langhe Nebbiolo begins with hand-harvested grapes from La Morra. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, with maceration lasting between 5 to 12 days, utilizing native yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months in neutral French oak barrels, then for 12 months in large casks. It then spends an additional 10 months in stainless steel and a final 10 months in bottle before release. This approach emphasizes preserving the grape's natural characteristics.
