Barbera fruit was handpicked from Alferi Vineyard in La Morra and wild fermented with 14 days maceration on skins with frequent cap punch-downs. Malolactic fermentation and maturation is in French barriques (25% new and 75% second-year barrels) for about 24 months prior summer bottling without filtration and 6-9 months bottle ageing.
