Vinification of the Cordero di Montezemolo Enrico VI Barolo

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Nebbiolo. Only flawless grapes were harvested for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Cordero di Montezemolo. Without question, the Enrico VI Barolo is also determined by the climate and the Barolo DOCG winegrowing style. This Italian wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, and is exceptionally impressive. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off. The ageing in wooden barrels is followed by a long maturation in the bottle, which makes this red wine even more complex.
