WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Luna di Mezzanotte Barolo 2019 involves the use of 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, a process that extracts key compounds. The wine then adheres to Barolo DOCG aging requirements, which include a minimum of 38 months of aging, with at least 18 months in oak barrels. This extended maturation is integral to the development of Barolo's characteristic structure and aromatic profile.
