WINE MAKING PROCESS
Moccagatta's Barbaresco 2019 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The winemaking begins with fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for 5-6 days at 30°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in steel. The wine then undergoes 12 months of aging in French oak barriques. This process is part of the Barbaresco DOCG requirement for a minimum of 26 months total aging. The estate practices organic viticulture, utilizing methods like cover crops and integrated pest control to minimize environmental impact. The 2019 harvest occurred late, around October 10th, with the winery focusing on quality through vineyard management.
