The top expression of Abrigo Fratelli's Dolcetto, sourced from the Pietrin vineyard and bottled under the Superiore designation. Compared to the estate's standard Diano d'Alba, this is a more fragrant wine that elegantly balances easy drinkability with real structure, reflecting the extra ripeness and aging requirements of the Superiore tier.
This single-vineyard Pietrin bottling shows exactly what happens when a Dolcetto specialist stops holding back — more perfume, more structure, still unmistakably Dolcetto.
New to wine?

Food Pairings

- Where does the Pietrin name come from?
- Pietrin is the name of the specific vineyard the grapes are sourced from within the Diano d'Alba DOCG zone.
