Red
Dolcetto d'Alba
By Diego Morra, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
An easy-drinking Dolcetto d'Alba grown across the estate's three villages and aged in steel.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Exuberant, fresh perfumes of peach and blackberry, with flowery notes of wild violets, soft tannins that make it easy to appreciate even young.
Pairs well with
Meat appetizers, first courses and somewhat aged cheeses.
