Dolcetto d'Alba

Tasting notes Dolcetto d’Alba is a lively ruby red color. The nose offers vivid sensations of freshly pressed grapes that echoes floral notes and hints of ripe red fruit, especially cherries. The palate is fresh, well-balanced and is exceptionally easy to drink. Historical Data Dolcetto is a historic wine from Piedmont’s long-established winemaking traditions. Aging occurs in steel vats in order to bring out the full expression of aromas and flavors characteristic of this grape variety. Raised entirely in tank, this is surprisingly deep, yet also so juicy and bright, with flavours and aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry, iodine and violet, supported by ripe, yet abundant, chalky tannins. I’m not sure I’ve ever thought of a Dolcetto I’d love to see this with a few years of age. Dolcetto is perhaps the most typical wine of Alba and all of Piedmont. Thanks to its strong but not excessively alcoholic, full and harmonious flavor, it is a versatile wine, easy to pair and can satisfyingly be drunk daily.
