best grapes on the vine are hand selected and isolated
into small boxes in the vineyard. These small boxes
are then taken to the castle. At a central table
in the castle courtyard, the finest grapes from
these small boxes are further selected. In this
way, the finest of the finest grapes are chosen
for wine production. These steps are repeated for
each specific vineyard.
Toward the end of August, the harvest begins
with the early maturing pinot nero. From the middle
of September through the middle of October the
harvest continues for the barbera, grignolino
and cabernet sauvignon grapes.
