WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Velo Barbera 2023 is produced by Torrevilla using 100% Barbera grapes from Provincia di Pavia. The winemaking process involves twelve days of temperature-controlled fermentation with skin maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes racking, clarification, stabilization, and filtration. It is aged for six months in stainless steel tanks to maintain its freshness. Harvest typically takes place in the third week of September.
