Elaboration:
The Nebbiolo grapes are not picked until they have developed their flavors to their fullest potential and are fully mature. The fruit is picked in the early morning when it is cooler so that it will be chilly when it gets to the winery. The grapes are manually sorted and de-stemmed in the cellar.
