Vinification of the Barbera d'Alba from Borgogno

After the grapes are harvested, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks for 12 days and then gently pressed. The wine is then divided up for ageing: 70% is matured in steel tanks for 10 months - 30% remains in large Slavonian oak barrels for 10 months. Once the maturation period is complete, this red wine is blended and remains in the Giacomo Borgogno wine cellar for a further 6 months in the bottle.
