Cellar techniques
This wine is produced according to traditional and natural methods exclusively with grapes cultivated with organic methods in the area of MeGA Basarin in the municipality of Neive. The grapes, after being carefully selected, are placed in spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasts for four weeks or more, then the wine is placed in traditional Slavonian oak barrels where it remains for at least twenty-four months. Bottling takes place in the summer and a long period in the bottle prepares the wine for release on the market. Because of the long aging period, it is customary to offer this Barbaresco with the Riserva designation. Barbaresco Docg Basarin is an organic product certified by Ecogruppo Italia.
