Once the fermentation process is completed, the liquid is racked into oak barrels where malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously and aging takes place for about 12 months before bottling and further resting in glass.

This Barbaresco is the natural companion for main courses based on red meats or game, such as stews or roasts with brown sauce.
