WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Parusso Mariondino 2020 is produced using 100% Nebbiolo grapes. The winemaking process begins with a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation utilizing indigenous yeasts, conducted without added sulfites. This is followed by a long maceration period after soft pressing. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in small oak barrels, including French barriques. Post-barrel aging, it rests on its lees for an extended period of natural autolysis. The grapes are hand-harvested in small crates, with a focus on achieving full ripeness. The producer employs organic farming practices and emphasizes a philosophy of respecting terroir and tradition.
