Cantina Sociale Gattinara 2015

Hand-harvested grapes are destemmed prior to a soft pressing. Native fermentation takes place in a combination of large oak casks and cement tanks without temperature control. In these vessels, maceration lasts up to 30 days. Secondary fermentation occurs naturally in the same vessels. Aged for a minimum of two years in Slavonian botti of 20 hl or larger followed by at least one additional year in cement tanks. Finally, the wine spends a minimum of six months in bottle prior to release.
