About this wine

Grapes

Dolcetto, described as a traditional indigenous variety.

Vinification

Traditional vinification can include submerged-cap maceration lasting as long as 100 days.

Ageing

One year in wood and concrete vats.

Tasting profile

Pleasant in its youth, yet capable of extended ageing due to its origins in old vineyards with highly calcareous soils.
