Family-owned for generations, Veglio Michelino & Figlio is located between Diano d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba and maintains key vineyard sites growing Dolcetto, Barbera and most importantly, Nebbiolo. For their Barbaresco, they soft-press the grapes and ferment for 4-5 days, age the wine for 4 months in steel, then 2 years in 5000L barrels. The wine rests in bottle for 6 months before release.
