Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Product description

The Dolcetto d’Alba DOC from Agnelli Viassone is an expressive red wine made from 100% Dolcetto grapes grown in the Bricco Paris vineyard in Piedmont. Planted in 1977, the vineyard benefits from both western and eastern exposures, while the first vintage of this wine was produced in 2021. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully collected in perforated crates to preserve their quality. With a strong belief in the potential of the Dolcetto grape, the winery selects only the finest bunches from each vine to ensure exceptional quality, even in dry years. After harvest, the wine matures for eight months in concrete tanks, allowing its natural character to shine through.

In the glass, the wine displays an intense ruby-red colour. The nose reveals inviting aromas of red fruit, including sour cherries and ripe cherries, complemented by delicate floral notes of fresh red blossoms. Subtle hints of cocoa bean and tobacco add depth and complexity to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is fresh and vibrant, with flavours of juicy red fruit, a touch of citrus and a delicate mineral note. Beautifully balanced, it finishes with a pleasant freshness and juiciness that make every sip inviting. The wine has an alcohol content of 13%.

This Dolcetto d’Alba is an excellent companion to stuffed pasta, such as ravioli, as well as flavourful antipasti and hearty dishes. Its lively fruit, refreshing acidity and smooth structure make it a versatile red wine that pairs effortlessly with a variety of meals. Equally enjoyable around the dinner table or during a relaxed evening, it offers an authentic expression of Dolcetto from Piedmont.
