About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed very gently. Fermentation is spontaneous, with native yeasts, in stainless steel and cement tanks. No oak barrels are used. The wine is bottled during the waning moon and is neither filtered nor clarified before bottling.

Tasting profile

Organic, delicate and lovely, in a lighter, crisper style. The aroma is refined yet lively, with floral tones, bright red fruit, mint and spice. The palate is elegant and refined, well structured, with good acidity and rounded tannins. The finish is long, pleasant and memorable.

Vintage notes

The wine was presented in the lighter, crisper style in 2024.

Label / history

The wine is dedicated to Elizabeth from San Francisco, a friend of the Rizzolio family who has helped them harvest Dolcetto every year since 2000.
