Barbera Appassimento is made with dry grapes of barbera. The drying process done outside in the wineyards. Following the rules of production we can have at maximum 5.000 kgs for hectar instead of 10k. So the production is less than half of maximum. At first, when grapes matured we cut the branches from the plant. We use to dry the grapes outside in the vineyards because the weather in the last years is really hot . The drying is made 2 weeks. Strong sun, moderate wind and cold nights makes all. We start the operation only in the Vineyards that have a natural reduction of production of 40-45%.
