Tasting Notes
The Dolcetto d'Alba originates from the cooler, clay-rich soils of the Rué and Monrobiolo di Bussia crus, where the variety thrives. Using traditional approaches in the cellar the wine yields a joyful, medium-bodied wine packed with dark plum, crunchy blackberry, and vibrant violet aromas. Its site-driven freshness balances the grape's natural rustic charm, finishing with soft, approachable tannins and clean fruit purity. - Chris L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
