About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Dolcetto grows on east-facing hillsides in Diano d’Alba. The vineyards have well-draining Miocene soils rich in calcareous marl and potassium oxide.

Label / history

“La Lepre” belongs to the “Fuoriclasse” collection, whose name means “Superstars” in English. The collection comprises six wines, each intended to express the character of an individual vineyard.
