Trifolau
By Raffaele Gili, Roero, Piemonte, Italy
Langhe DOC Dolcetto from 100% Dolcetto, about half a hectare in Castellinaldo d'Alba, made by carbonic maceration and meant for early drinking.
Tasting notes
Savoury, full and still young on the palate, with the typical bitterish aftertaste and a pleasant winey persistence.
Pairs well with
Cured-meat starters, tasty dry pasta, poultry and Piedmontese cheeses.
