Red
Mandorlo
By Elvio Cogno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Dolcetto from a one hectare vineyard, aged 8 months in stainless steel only. Fruit-forward and made for everyday drinking.
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red with deep violet highlights. Immediate, intense and persistent winey perfume with grape must that develops red wild berries with age. Dry, full-bodied, elegant and round, with a fresh, juicy finish and fine, integrated tannins.
Pairs well with
Starters, pasta, soups, salamis and cream cheeses.
