Malolactic fermentation is completed before the onset of winter, stabilising the wine and giving it a harmonious texture. The maturation period lasts for at least twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step in defining the aromatic profile. The production process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of several months, aimed at ensuring maximum precision and expressive elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondine is one of the \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric areas of Barbaresco\u003c\/strong\u003e, a magnificent natural amphitheatre characterised by particularly suitable \u003cstrong\u003esilty soil\u003c\/strong\u003e.
