WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Barbera d'Asti focuses entirely on preserving the bright, primary fruit characteristics of the grape. Following a careful harvest, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is completed to soften the grape's naturally high acidity. The wine is aged exclusively in stainless steel and concrete vats rather than oak barrels, ensuring that the final profile remains fruit-forward, crisp, and expressive of the unique Asti soils.
