About this wine

Vinification

The Dolcetto grapes are harvested relatively early, in the second week of September. The wine is made and bottled using traditional methods, with winemaking completed by the beginning of the following year.

Ageing

The wine matures for four months in wooden barrels and is ready to drink immediately after production is completed.

Tasting profile

Light and pleasant in character.

Serving and pairing

Suitable throughout a meal, it pairs with first and main courses. It may also be served as an aperitif with appetizers.

Label / history

The Fratelli Levis range takes its name from brothers Antonio and Raimondo Levis, who founded their company in 1938. Their interest in Nebbiolo brought them to the Langhe area. Both brothers had a congenital hearing impairment, and people close to them associated their dedication to winemaking with an effort to express their creativity.

After Raimondo died in 2002, Antonio formed a partnership with the family-owned Sartirano company. Sartirano now owns the Fratelli Levis brand. The small Corte Lombardina winery forms part of Sartirano Figli Cantine e Vigneti.
