About this wine

Grapes

Dolcetto, a native variety of lower Piedmont. Although its fruit is naturally sweet, it produces a dry, fresh and easy-drinking wine.

Ageing

Refined in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Blueberry aromas lead into a fleshy, straightforward palate. Dry and balanced, with medium body.

Serving and pairing

Pair with cured meats, chicken, pigeon or fresh cheeses. Cellaring potential is 2–3 years.

Label / history

Anselmo takes its name from the first-born son of Aleramo and Adelasia, Marquises of Monferrato. He inherited the rights to the Monferrato territory whose boundaries had been established by his father.
