WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Barbaresco follows classic regional methods. Nebbiolo grapes are carefully selected and harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, accompanied by a maceration period on the skins lasting approximately 15 to 20 days to extract color, structure, and fine tannins. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 to 24 months in medium-sized oak casks (botti), allowing for slow oxygenation and integration of wood character without overpowering the grape's natural profile. The wine is then refined in the bottle before release.
