The 2018 Dolcetto d'Alba sees its fruit sourced from two sites in Barbaresco. It comes from the lower part of the Pajè vineyard and from the tail end of Asili hill. There is a lot of fruit purity here, all presented with naked transparency. This wine sees a very long 100 days of skin maceration time, intended to draw out the tannins from the seeds of the Dolcetto grape. Dark cherry, cassis and blackberry emerge from the bouquet. The tannic firmness is subtle and integrated within the fresh primary fruit. Production is 900 cases with 12 bottles in each.

Macerated cherry, plum and earth flavors mark this sleek red, with a hint of cinnamon. Shows some grip on the finish, along with bright acidity. Juicy and long. Drink now. 900 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
