This process ends with a maceration of 10-15 days. Finally, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for 12 months and 12 months in 25 hl barrels.Ceretto Barbaresco is a typical wine of this Piedmontese denomination that shows its most delicate side without neglecting the variety’s meatiness and power. Elegant Piedmont opulence.
