Winemaking
Clusters are selected carefully in the months before the harvest, each lot is picked separately. Barolo Badarina is vinified in purity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks. Long skin contact macerations that last 25-35 days and submerged cap management are also carried out. The malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel and concrete tanks. This Barolo is aged in big Slavonian oak barrels and partly in French oak tonneaux for 24-30 months. The wine also spends time in bottle before being released
