- **Producer:** Punset
- **Style:** Red
- **Denomination:** Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Superiore
- **Grape:** Dolcetto 100%
- **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.

## 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.
