About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

Mosesco reflects a terroir of Miocene-era soils that are typically sandy and clay based. This setting contributes complexity, freshness and finesse to Dolcetto.

Grapes

100% Dolcetto.

Vinification

The grapes were destemmed and crushed after reaching the cellar. Fermentation lasted six days and did not exceed 27–28 °C. Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter.

Ageing

Approximately six months of ageing preceded bottling.

Tasting profile

Ruby red with purple reflections. The vinous bouquet offers fresh flowers and fruit, particularly cherry and black cherry. The palate is full and balanced, with varietal character and an elegant almond finish.

Vintage notes

The mild 2024 winter brought occasional rain that partly replenished groundwater after the previous summer’s drought. Normal budbreak under mild conditions was followed by rain in the latter half of spring and during summer. Soil management and cluster thinning helped protect vine health and develop good sugar concentration while retaining freshness. Harvest took place on September 25.
