Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba 2024

Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba, Italy

Dolcetto (100%) · 2024 · 13.5% abv

Black cherry, violet, and almond skin rise from the glass. The palate is juicy but taut, balancing bitter cherry with stony minerality. Tannins are soft yet binding, leaving a savoury almond twist on the finish.

Production

Hand harvested. Indigenous yeast ferment in steel for 15 days. Aged 6 months in large wooden casks, then 6 months in bottle before release.

Vinyard

15-year-old Dolcetto vines on clay-limestone at 250 m. Organic farming, Guyot pruning, and cover crops sustain vineyard health; the higher altitude keeps Dolcetto’s natural acidity intact.

Pairing

Pair with tajarin and truffle, braised rabbit with olives, or bagna cauda. Also shines with aged toma or Castelmagno cheeses.
