    Vinification and aging

    After a carefully selected, hand-harvested Nebbiolo grape, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging then takes place in oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its complexity while subtly integrating the tannins. This aging period, which lasts several months, is crucial for refining the wine and giving it its structure. The 2017 Barolo Vignarionda is then bottled unfiltered to preserve its authenticity.
