WINE MAKING PROCESS
Selvaggia Rosso is produced from hand-selected Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes harvested in October from vineyards in Treiso, Piedmont. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with potential spontaneous fermentation in acacia wood vats for the Nebbiolo. The wine then ages for 12 months, partly in barrique and partly in 10 hl oak barrels, before bottling. The winery's approach blends traditional winemaking with modern techniques.
