| Harvest | The grapes, freshly harvested, arrive in the cellar intact and are quickly crushed and delicately destemmed to extract only the noblest and most aromatic fractions from the skin and the outermost part of the berry. |
| Wine making | Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks. Maceration on the skins lasts about 8 days, with frequent pumping over at intervals to allow the must to take possession of all the trace elements present and to delicately extract the colouring material. Racking takes place when the product is almost completely dry. |
| Aging | Traditional Slavonian oak barrels contribute to the wine's harmony and increase the finesse of the bouquet. The sweet sensation is mainly due to the moderate acidity and delicate tannins. Barbera d'Alba reaches maturity 2 years after the harvest and the maturation plateau is between 2 and 6 years. |
