Dolcetto Grapes: fermentation lasts from 4 to 6 days at a temperature of 26-28°C. Afterwards, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks in contact with its lees for at least two months.
Merlot Grapes: fermentation lasts 6 to 8 days at a temperature of 27-29°C and, also in this case, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks in contact with its lees for at least two months.
Nebbiolo Grapes: fermentation lasts from 6 to 8 days at a temperature of 27-29°C. Afterwards, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks in contact with its lees for at least two months.
Then, taking advantage of the wintriness, the wine is left to rest from 3 to 4 months at low temperature in order to facilitate the deposit of the turbidity and the clarification.
Afterwards, blending is carried out according with the features of the wines.
At this point, the resulting wine is refined about 12 months, part of which in oak barrels.
Eventually, one year after the harvest, the Langhe DOC Nicülin is bottled and, after few months of storage in our cellar, it is ready to be marketed.
