Tasting notes
This Dogliani Superiore Pianezzo Vigna del Ciliegio offers a deep, inky purple hue, with concentrated aromas of black fruits, licorice, and a touch of earth. The palate is rich and powerful, with a velvety texture and a persistent, dry finish. [Profiles: bold, fruity, structured, tannic, velvety, dry]
