Doppio Rosso

By La Guardia, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy

La Guardia Doppio Rosso

An entirely Piedmontese blend of Dolcetto and Barbera, 50% each, vinified separately and blended after a few months.

Tasting notes

Harmonious aromas from small fruits to blackberry and cherry. Ruby red with violet reflections; soft and elegant on the palate, of good structure and intense, with a present but not cumbersome tannin.

Vinification
Dolcetto is harvested around the second week of September and Barbera not before the first week of October, so the wines are vinified separately and blended after a few months. After a short period together the wine is bottled. The blend is 50% each.
