From the Producers:

Our very recent entrance in the winemaking world was pretty much unexpected, as absolute amateurs. We don’t originate from a family of winemakers. The first vineyard was bought online, on a website specializing in used things! Yes, you read that correctly. It was half a hectare of abandoned and shabby Nebbiolo. That's how Valdisole was born in 2015. 

The grapes are picked by hand on September 9th and left to soak with their skins for 2 weeks in stainless steel tanks. The wine ferments naturally and is kept in tank for 7 months. It is unfiltered and only a tiny bit of sulfur (20mg/l) is added during bottling.
