WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pecchenino Langhe Riesling is produced using 100% Riesling grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the varietal's aromatic purity and freshness. The wine is then aged for about nine months in stainless steel tanks, resting on its fine lees. This aging process contributes to the wine's texture and complexity. The producer emphasizes sustainable viticulture, notably avoiding the use of chemical pesticides.
