WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Truffle Hunter Barolo is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 15 days, utilizing indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes an extended aging period of 3 years in French oak barrels, with a split between large Slavonian oak barrels and smaller French tonneau. This meticulous process aims to develop the wine's structure and complexity, allowing the Nebbiolo grape to fully express its character.
