Red
Dosso
By Diego Pressenda - La Torricella, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
An everyday Dolcetto from the Tiradosso hamlet, fruity and approachable with the variety's typical bitter almond finish.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with violet reflections, with aromas of blackberries, cranberries and dried fall leaves. Medium-bodied with a good balance of fruit, bright acidity and big, rounded tannins, finishing with a pleasantly bitter almond note typical of Dolcetto from Alba.
Pairs well with
Pizza, pasta with Bolognese or ragu sauce, roasted meats, or chilled with fatty cured meats and cheeses.
