DESCRIPTION
Dolcetto d'Alba is one of seven Dolcetto-focused DOC
wines produced in Italy's north-western Piedmont region. It is
considered the most notable of the Dolcetto classified reds.
There, vines are planted on slopes with sandy, calcareous soils.
On estate-grown vineyards, hand selected grape
bunches undergo a soft crushing prior to fermentation using
selective yeasts which accentuate the wine’s clean and
fragrant red and dark berry fruit aromas. Post fermentation
the wine is racked o solids and held in tank where it matures for several months prior to bottling.
TASTING NOTES
The wine is bright ruby red in color with lasting aromas of dark berries and cherries. A beautifully structured red, this wine is ready to drink now, or after cellaring for 3 to 5 years.
