In the cellar, the grapes ferment in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks at controlled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e, with daily pump-overs to optimise extraction. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e for several months. This period of rest allows the structure to stabilise and preserves the aromatic clarity before bottling, which usually takes place in the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced since 1980, \u003cstrong\u003eElio Grasso's Dolcetto d’Alba DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e combines innovation with the deep-rooted traditions of the Langhe.
