Barbaresco DOCG Sordo is produced in the areas owned by the company. The denomination DOCG includes the districts of Barbaresco, Neive and Treiso, perfect territories for the production of this sensational wine linked to tradition and to the people who live there. It is composed 100% by Nebbiolo variety, cultivated in vineyards with south-west exposition that are located 300-350 meters above the sea level. The plants, that are 25 years old, are trained on espaliers with the traditional Guyot method. The wine making starts with the soft pressing and the elimination of stalks, followed by a long maceration. The fermentation is managed in steel containers at a controlled temperature. The maturation, that lasts 6 months, is managed in steel too and it is followed by the aging, developed for 12 months in big barrels made of Slavonian oak.
