After the manual harvest in our five historic vineyards in the municipality of Barolo, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation follows in large concrete tanks, at a temperature between 22 ° and 28 ° for about 15 days. Subsequently, submerged cap maceration in concrete for 20 days, at which time the malolactic fermentation also takes place.
