There are 16 hectares of vineyards, cultivated without the use of pesticides, with clear goals of sustainability and biodiversity. The grapes are hand-picked at harvest, with an average yield of 4 tonnes\/ha, which is at the lower end of the average productivity for the denomination. The grapes are destemmed and macerated for 2 weeks before fermentation. Fermentation is controlled at 25° C with regular pump-overs. The wine is not filtered. The wine rests for 12 months before being bottled, followed by another 2 to 4 months in the bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature: \u003c\/strong\u003eshould be served between 16° and 18° C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePier Carlo Bergaglio \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the village of Capriata D'Orba, land of Dolcetto di Ovada production, the history of Pier Carlo Bergaglio's wine estate dates back to the late 19th century when Pier Carlo's grandfather began producing wine. Bergaglio's cellars still hold some preserved bottles from the 1925 vintage. As is tradition in many wine regions, the winery and vineyards were passed down from generation to generation. First to Pino, Pier Carlo's father, and later to Pier Carlo himself. Father and son worked together for many years, producing wine, planting new vines, and experimenting with new winemaking techniques. In 1990, Pier Carlo became a full-time winemaker at the family estate. All aspects of the business are truly a family affair, today managed by Andrea, who is in charge of the vineyards and winemaking processes, and Rosita, who is responsible for administration and distribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PIERCARLO BERGAGLIO IB","offers":[{"title":"0.75","offer_id":55480518312280,"sku":"VIN-RO-0081-B","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3825\/1864\/files\/DOLC_PC.webp?v=1768479852","url":"https:\/\/danteecompanhia.pt\/en\/products\/dolcetto-di-ovada-doc","provider":"Dante \u0026 C.ª","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
