WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Roero Arneis BelColle begins with a prolonged skin contact period of 36 hours at low temperatures (5°C), followed by classic white vinification. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures (5-15°C) for 10-15 days. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes 6 months of aging on its own lees. Harvesting is conducted manually. The producer employs low-impact viticulture, including organic fertilization and inter-row grassing, with pest control managed through traps. The overall philosophy is one of non-intervention, aiming to enhance the natural expression of the Arneis grape.
