Winemaker Notes
Dolcetto 2023 showcases the vibrant character of the Dolcetto grape. The vineyards are located in the Dogliani area, known for producing some of the finest Dolcetto wines. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve their fresh fruit aromas. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for several months before bottling, ensuring a pure expression of the grape. On the palate, it offers flavors of black cherries, plums, and a hint of almond, with soft tannins and a pleasant finish. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
