Vinification
A new wine from vintage 2014, the D.O.C. Langhe “Arcaplà” Nebbiolo. This name comes from tradition and from its predecessor, the D.O.C. Langhe Red “Arcaplà” that was produced until the vintage 2010 using the ancient technique arcaplé with Nebbiolo grapes (70%) and Barbera grapes (30%). Today, however, Costa di Bussia has chosen to give space to a D.O.C. Langhe Nebbiolo produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes of the estate. The wine is refined in small French oak barrels.
