Red
Dolcetto d'Alba
By Francesco Borgogno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Dolcetto d'Alba from the family's vineyards at Liste in La Morra, usually drunk young. About 4,000 bottles in the 2025 vintage.
Tasting notes
Very bright ruby red with violet reflections. Delicate and fruity on the nose. Rounded, dry and slightly bitter on the palate, recalling fruits such as amarena cherry.
Pairs well with
Antipasti and first courses, above all with meat sauces, and soups.
