WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Roero Arneis Bricco Delle Ciliegie 2021 is produced from 100% Arneis grapes. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, utilizing modern technologies like inert gas to protect the wine. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging on its lees in steel for about ten months, with a small fraction potentially seeing untoasted small barrels. Harvest timing is critical to capture the desired balance of ripeness and acidity.
