Harvesting period: End of September, first weeks of October, depending on the degree of phenolic ripeness and climatic conditions.
Harvesting method: Harvesting method: by hand in perforated crates, in order to allow good aeration of the grapes.
Vinification and aging: after a soft pressing of Nebbiolo grapes, alcoholic fermentation proceeds, of the classic type, in steel tanks at a temperature of 30-32 °. Through several daily pumping over, a maceration of 10-12 days is allowed, following which the must is subjected to a period of 3 months where the bottoms are kept continuously in motion, allowing a large extraction of mannoproteins, with consequent cleaning of the aromas and increase in elegance, also in this process malolactic fermentation is carried out. Afterwards, the wine is racked into barrels (10 hl barrels with Allier French oak staves and Slavonian oak bottoms) and 1500 liter barrels (Slavonia), Tonnoux (500 liter French oak barrels) where it will spend 26 months of aging. Finally, a pre-bottling phase lasting 1-6 months in steel tanks is bottled, to continue with further refinement in the bottle for a few months.
