picture of

Beautiful ruby red color with purple hues. Young, aromatic and smooth style. Exuberant fruit from cherries, plums, strawberries and other red fruit. Its tasty and friendly character continues in the juicy final combined with a tasty bitterness. Perfect on hot days when it is lightly cooled.

Dolcetto is very versatile in the kitchen. It is a fairly gentle companion of various meat dishes, pasta, tapas, fondue and soft cheeses.

climate

The climate of Barbaresco is classified as warm and temperate with regular and sometimes a lot of rainfall. Rain falls regularly even in the driest month. Both the mountains and the Mediterranean sea leave their mark on the region.

soil

Southwest oriented vineyard that is situated in the part of Rio Sordo at an altitude of 230-260m. White soils with lots of limestone and regular layers of clay.

vinification

Hand-picked grapes that are gently pressed. Short maceration of 5-6 days under controlled temperature (23-25 °). This is followed by malolactic fermentation to give the wine more stability. The wine then rests for several months in stainless steel tanks, after which it matures for another two months in wooden barrels of 40 hectoliters in order to achieve the best balance.
