WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Monferrato Nebbiolo Bricco Castagna is produced using traditional fermentation and maceration in large concrete tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. This process is guided by the Bussi Piero family's philosophy of prioritizing quality from vineyard to bottle, using only estate-grown grapes to create wines that are a reflection of their territory.
