## Summary

A simple, traditional Dolcetto of the kind local farmers made for their own table, the only wine the producer's father bottled. Meant to be drunk fresh.

## Tasting notes

Brilliant ruby red. Exuberant vinous notes of red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and redcurrant on the nose. Firm on the palate, medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannin and a savoury, persistent finish.

## Food pairings

Tagliatelle with ragù and agnolotti, bread and salame, fatty cheeses, cotechino, savoury tarts.
