    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Monte Bello 2019 follows traditional methods, with meticulous attention paid to each step. The grapes are carefully hand-selected and destemmed before being fermented in wooden vats. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, to add further complexity without masking the fruit. This painstaking process allows the wine to develop depth and structure while preserving the authenticity and typicity of the terroir.
