Vinification of the Fabrizio Pinsoglio Roero Riserva

The basis for the well-balanced Roero Riserva from Piedmont is grapes of the Nebbiolo variety. In Piedmont, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandy soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. The vinification is followed by maturation for several months in oak barrels.
