Dogliani Superiore DOCG from the Vigne Sorì San Martino plot, three old, steep vineyards on the Pianezzo hill first vinified separately in 1986.
Tasting notes
With a deep garnet color, this Dogliani Superiore offers a complex nose of dark fruit, licorice, and earthy undertones, culminating in a powerful and structured palate with a long, mineral-driven finish. [Profiles: bold, dry, tannic, complex, mineral, structured]
