The must stays on contact with the skins for 15 days: during this time the alcoholic vinification usually gets fully complete, and the wine is then drawn off.

The new wine remains inside stainless steel vats for 3 to 5 months, and it is periodically transferred before being put into big Slavonian oak barrels, where it is left ageing for 28 to 30 months; then, it will be bottled.

The vineyard “Colonnello” is about 40-45 years old and, to maintain it, its vines are replanted from time to time. The main variety of Nebbiolo is Michet and its rootstock is 420 A.
