Germano Angelo Langhe D.O.C. Nebbiolo Visette 2020

Wine-making and ageing: Fermentation and maceration take place in tanks made of stainless steel thermo-conditioned for about 10 -12 days at 28-30°C temperature.
In the first part of wine-making take place manual punchings down of the cap followed by daily pumpings over. The malolactic fermentation takes place in steel and it is followed by an ageing in big casks made of oak from Slavonia for about 12 months. The bottling is realized in August of the second year following the grape harvest and before being commercialized it is aged in bottles for at least twelve months.

Curiosity: The organoleptic characteristics of this Langhe Nebbiolo are very “classic” due to both using of grapes from different vineyards and type of ageing in big oak casks. This wine of great elegance is able to endure in an excellent way many years of ageing in bottle.
