Punset Dolcetto d'Alba Superiore

Dolcetto d'Alba Superiore aged 24 months in concrete and about 6 months in bottle. Fruit-driven, with soft tannins.

Tasting notes

Ruby red with summer fruit aromas of cherry, redcurrant and blackberry, leading to a winey, soft, round palate with intense persistence and the slightly bitter finish typical of the grape.

Vinification
Organically grown grapes, selected and hand-harvested in perforated crates and destemmed. The must ferments without added yeasts, vigorously for about a week, with frequent pump-overs and periodic delestage. After racking and malolactic fermentation the clear wine ages in concrete tanks for 24 months, then about 6 months in bottle. The technique favours fruity aromas, and the fairly short skin contact gives intense colour and soft tannins.
