WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Monlusso Barbera is produced using Barbera grapes harvested in late September. Fermentation likely takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity. The wine incorporates 'ingredients of oak,' indicating a period of aging in wooden barrels, a common practice for enhancing structure and complexity in Barbera d'Asti wines. This process aims to create a wine that reflects the specific terroir of Calosso.
