Description
Country: Italy
Region: Piemonte
Grapes: Grape Dolcetto 100
Tasting Note:
Charming wine made from Piedmont's third red grape (after
more prestigious and expensive, Nebbiolo and Barbera),
this is packed with dark fruit and headily perfumed with
almonds and spice.
Winemaking:
Fermentation in stainless steel vats for 6-8 days at a
temperature of 24-25° C, followed by the malolactic
fermentation. A short stay in steel precedes bottling, which
is carried out in the spring following the harvest. The wine is
released after a few months of ageing in the bottle.
Food matching:
A fine match for hot hors-d'oeuvres, pasta, vegetables and
not overly-elaborate meat dishes.
