Red
Bricco Caramelli
By Mossio Fratelli, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Mossio's flagship Dolcetto d'Alba, from the Bricco Caramelli cru, a single vineyard planted in the early 1960s.
Tasting notes
Impenetrable ruby red with violet reflections. Intense aromas of plum, blackberry and other red fruit over a spiced, faintly balsamic base. Enveloping, soft and full-bodied on the palate, with the typical almond finish of Dolcetto.
Pairs well with
Starters, first courses, white and red meats roasted, braised or stewed, truffle dishes, oily fish stewed or roasted, and aged cheeses.
