Red Grape-variety: 100% Dolcetto Harvest: mid/late September Yield: 6 tons/ha Vinication: it ferments on the skins in steel for the rst 10-12 days at a controlled temperature. When the malolactic fermentation has ended, it awaits the arrival of warm weather before bottling takes place. Bottle ageing before release: at least 6 months in the cellar. Technical data Alcohol: 12.5 % Residual sugar: 3.9 g/l Total acidity: 5.2 g/l Dry extract: 32 g/l Tasting notes: Appearance: clear ruby red, tending to purple. Nose: intense, very persistent vinous bouquet, with fruity overtones conjuring up red berries and plums, and a short-lived spiciness. A slightly bitterish aftertaste at times. Palate: fresh, luscious and tannic, with good structure. Other information: Bottle sizes available: 75 cl Best served at: 15 - 16 °C (66 - 62 °F) Food pairings: Dolcetto’s typical fruity avour reminiscent of cherries means it is usually matched with spicy foods or dishes cooked using a lot of garlic.

Cheeses: fresh or medium mature.
