WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Uvaggio Coste della Sesia Rosso is produced using grapes fermented with natural yeasts in open-topped wooden fermenters, followed by a gentle pressing and a skin maceration period of 23-25 days. The wine is then aged for 12 months sur lie and an additional 22 months in a combination of barrique, barrel, and large oak casks. Grapes are hand-harvested in small crates. The estate employs sustainable farming practices, including the traditional use of copper and sulfate and avoiding herbicides and chemical fertilizers.
