WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC Paisan is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. After manual harvest and soft pressing, the grapes undergo fermentation with an 8-day maceration period at controlled temperatures of 30°-32°C, utilizing techniques like cap punching and pumping over. Malolactic fermentation follows, with aging taking place for a minimum of 12 months in large oak barrels, complemented by 6 months of bottle aging. The vineyards are managed using the low Guyot system on calcareous clay-silt soils.
