WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zengarello Barolo 2020 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, hand-harvested in mid to late October. Following harvest, the grapes undergo a maceration period, typically lasting 10-12 days for Barolo, to extract color and tannins. The wine is then aged for 26 months in 800-liter oak barrels, a process that contributes to its structure and complexity. Urban Wines, as the producer, focuses on sourcing and creating wines that align with their philosophy of accessibility and enjoyment.
