WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ceretto Monsordo Langhe Rosso undergoes separate fermentation for each grape variety in large, temperature-controlled oak vats for 12-15 days, utilizing délestage and punch-down techniques. Malolactic fermentation occurs in 300-liter small oak barrels, followed by an aging period of 12-14 months (or up to 16 months in tonneaux) in wood before blending and bottling. Ceretto's approach is rooted in a commitment to quality and sustainability, with all vineyards converted to organic agriculture since 2010, and some also utilizing biodynamic methods.
