WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Pio Cesare Nebbiolo Langhe DOC is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Following hand-harvesting, the grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks with a maceration period of around 20 days. The wine is then aged for 24 months, with the majority in large oak casks (botti) and a smaller portion in French oak barriques. Sustainable winegrowing practices are integral to the estate's viticulture.
