WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Borgogno Langhe Rosso 2022 is produced using traditional winemaking techniques. Grapes are fermented in cement tanks, a method that helps maintain the purity of fruit flavors and allows for natural temperature control. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in large, neutral oak casks (botti). This process is designed to allow the wine to mature and develop complexity without significant oak influence. The winery is committed to organic viticulture, employing traditional farming practices to ensure the health of the vineyard and the quality of the grapes.
