Vinification of Fiulot Barbera d'Asti DOCG from Prunotto

For this pure Barbera, the grapes grow in a vineyard in Agliano d'Asti, on very light, loose and light soils, rich in clay and limestone marl, which, together with modern cellar techniques, favours the vinous character and fragrant taste of Barbera Fiulot.
After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed, pressed and macerated on the skins at a controlled temperature for a week. After the marc has been removed, the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is completed before the beginning of winter. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks for a few months before being bottled in spring and sold.
