    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of Barbaresco Il Bricco di Treiso 2017 is carried out with great care. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed and crushed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks, where temperatures are controlled to preserve freshness and aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, allowing the wine to refine while respecting its character. This aging method adds further complexity, while allowing the minerality and purity of the Nebbiolo grape to express themselves fully. The wine is then bottled unfiltered, guaranteeing unparalleled authenticity and richness.
