WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Montepeloso Nardo is produced using grapes from the estate's oldest vineyards. Following harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with maceration lasting between 20-30 days for some vintages. The wine is then aged for 18 months in a combination of new and used 400-liter tonneau barrels, followed by an additional nine months of aging in bottle prior to release. This process is guided by the producer's philosophy of meticulous vineyard and cellar management to express the unique terroir.
