Barolo DOCG Andrea Oberto

Andrea Oberto Barolo is a very elegant wine, made from Nebbiolo grapes from vineyards exposed to the southwest side of the estate. The manual harvesting of the grapes takes place around the middle of October, Nebbiolo is placed in boxes of 20 kg and taken to the cellar for vinification. The de-stemmed and crushed grapes is placed in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation and maceration that lasts about 15 days during which they are made continuous pumping to extract dyes and aromatic compounds from the skins. After this stage the Barolo is separated from the skins and placed in oak barrels where it rests and matures for 24 months. After this period the wines are assembled and the rest in stainless steel for another two months before bottling.
