VINIFICATION

The Nebbiolo is a late-ripening grape varietal. It has to be harvested between the end of September and the first fifteen days of October.
Once in the winery, grapes are destemmed and crushed. Then they are put in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks where the alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place. This lasts at least one week at temperature of 26-28°C.
After racking and pouring, the wine remains in contact with its lees (temperature of 20-22°C) for at least two months while it completes the malo-lactic fermentation.
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.
Now the wine is ready to start the refining, which lasts about 10 months.
Eventually, after one year from the harvest, the Nebbiolo DOC Gambarin is bottled and, after few months of storage in our cellar, it is ready to be marketed.
