The hill of Castelletto is on the hilly ridge of Monforte, facing Serralunga d’Alba, in the southeastern part of the Barolo area. The soils are clayey marl, rich in limestone and minerals, alternating with slightly sandier areas.
The grapes are hand harvested, and the bunches are destemmed. Fermentation takes place in French oak vats, with delicate pumping over and punching down carried out daily. Temperature control is used to avoid high temperatures. The wine is matured in French oak barrels for 20 to 33 months. The wine is usually bottled in the summer without fining or filtering, and rests in the cellar for at least 9 months before release.
