In the cellar, the philosophy of non-intervention<\/p><\/h1><\/span>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Fruits of the most classic expression of Piedmont, our wines reflect the character of the Manzone family. Austere, tough, apparently grumpy. But after some time, they reveal all their great richness and outstanding complexity.<\/em><\/p>\n

SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATION AND LONG MACERATION<\/h2>\n

No clarification, no filtration and minimum use of sulfur during bottling.
\nSpontaneous fermentation, delicate and slow maceration on the skins and pips.
\nLong years of aging in the silent and large barrels, and just as many in the bottle for the wine to complete its natural aging process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

ARTISANAL TRADITION AND LISTENING TO THE VINEYARDS<\/h2>\n

The Manzone family personally oversees all operations, from pruning to harvesting, from aging to packaging each individual bottle. A proudly\u00a0traditional and artisanal\u00a0<\/strong>style that does not allow shortcuts, observing utmost respect for what nature brings to the winery. Constant\u00a0listening to the vineyards<\/strong>\u00a0followed by simple and genuine work in the cellar. A style of yesteryear that gives each grape variety full and complete freedom to express itself according to the season and its most authentic varietal characteristics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cNON-INTERVENTION\u201d VINIFICATION<\/h2>\n

The grapes are harvested by hand, immediately delivered to the cellar and vinified, leaving part of the berries intact.
\nPied de cuve<\/em>\u00a0with indigenous yeasts, long macerations and long fermentations do not hasten polyphenolic extraction, which takes place in the most delicate way possible, by softly sprinkling the cap.
\nA vinification process of \u201cnon-intervention<\/strong>\u201d that becomes fully aware of the extraordinary nature of Castelletto and Gramolere\u2019s\u00a0terroir\u00a0<\/em>and tries, in any possible way, to instill its purity and inimitable identity in each wine produced.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

WOOD, CONCRETE AND CORK<\/h2>\n

The wines for aging rest in\u00a0large barrels\u00a0<\/strong>so that the wood never overpowers the expressive richness of the cultivated vines. Before bottling, the Barolos remain for several months in\u00a0concrete tanks<\/strong>, where the wine rests peacefully to find elegance and depth, protected from thermal and electromagnetic variations. All the caps used are\u00a0high-quality one-piece cork<\/strong>: screw caps, synthetic caps or agglomerates are not used.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

DECANTATION BY GRAVITY<\/h2>\n

In the cellar<\/strong>, we have chosen to proceed slowly<\/strong>. We do not use mechanical filters or artificial clarification that can deplete the wine and alter its organoleptic characteristics. This is a conscious choice<\/strong> that fully respects our exceptional natural resource. Each wine decants<\/strong> in its aging container until it becomes clear and stabilized, thanks to the force of gravity<\/strong>. This is a choice that requires time and patience<\/strong>, but it also brings out the most authentic expression<\/strong> of each grape variety.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

MANAGING THE SUPPLY CHAIN<\/h2>\n

We exclusively vinify<\/strong> grapes harvested from our vineyards.<\/strong> We have chosen to internalize work in the vineyard and in the cellar and carefully oversee<\/strong> the entire supply chain. This includes agronomic intervention<\/strong>, manual harvesting<\/strong>, processing<\/strong>, aging<\/strong>, wine bottling<\/strong> and storage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
