About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Dolcetto comes from the Bussia vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. The hilly plot covers just 1 hectare and is farmed with nature-friendly methods, without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Vinification

Fermentation starts spontaneously with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages for 6 months in steel tanks, followed by some time in bottle before release.

Tasting profile

Lively, refreshing and full of charm, with a focus on pure fruit flavour.

Serving and pairing

Suited to rosemary lamb.
