Sourced from the single vineyard of Bricco dell'Oriolo in Montelupo Albese — a full south-facing site considered one of the best terroirs for Dolcetto in the region — this wine is aged exclusively in steel to preserve its vivid fruit. Expect an explosion of ripe blackberry, red cherry and violet, layered with subtle licorice and almond, all wrapped in Dolcetto's characteristically soft, low-acid, easy-drinking texture.
Piedmont's answer to a Tuesday-night red — juicy, unpretentious, and criminally easy to finish a bottle of.
