These so-called \u0026quot;white soils\u0026quot; of Piedmont, with their extremely low yields, produce grapes of remarkable concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The vinification follows the estate\u0026#39;s tradition: a \u003cstrong\u003e15-day maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e , controlled fermentation at 28 to 30 °C, and subsequent malolactic fermentation, which gently rounds out the natural acidity of the Barbera. The wine then matures \u003cstrong\u003efor 15 months in small oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e before resting for a further six to eight months in the bottle – time it needs to achieve its full aromatic balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass \u003cem\u003e, La Luna e I Falò\u003c\/em\u003e displays a deep, vibrant red color.
