About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from rocky hillside vineyards.

Grapes

The published specifications conflict on variety: Nebbiolo and Chardonnay are both identified for this wine.

Vinification

The wine undergoes two fermentations. The first takes place in stainless-steel tanks immediately after harvest; the second occurs in bottle according to the classic method. The grapes are harvested by hand from mid-August, deliberately early in the season.

Ageing

Approximately 12 months of maturation on the lees in bottle produces a creamy mousse and fine, persistent bubbles.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with green reflections, a creamy foam and fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is fine and elegant, with complex fresh-fruit notes. The palate is balanced and well structured, combining pronounced sapidity with fresh-almond and spice aromas.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 4–6°C. Its range extends from appetizers to dessert, with particularly suitable pairings including shellfish, caviar, raw fish, white meats and fine cured meats.

Label / history

Created to commemorate the first anniversary of Dimora Dosio, the wine celebrates hospitality in its various forms.
