WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes for this Barbera are grown in south-facing vineyards with clay and limestone-rich soil, with vines averaging 20-30 years old. The winery practices organic viticulture. Following harvest, the wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation. It is then aged for 6 months in a combination of barrels and barriques. Cantine Volpi has a history of innovation, including being an early adopter of organic winemaking.
