About this wine

A single-vineyard ('sorì', meaning a sun-facing slope in Piedmontese dialect) selection of Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba from the Cascina Rabino Soprano site, sitting above the family's home estate. More concentrated and structured than the base bottling, it shows ruby red color, an intense bouquet of cherry and dark berries, and a soft, fruit-driven palate lifted by fresh acidity.

Beginner's Note

A step up from everyday Dolcetto — shows what a single, well-sited vineyard can add to this variety.

Sommelier's Note

"Proof that Dolcetto isn't just a simple quaffer — this single-vineyard selection has real depth and ageing potential within its style."

Food Pairings

Pairs well with richer Langhe fare than the base Dolcetto — braised pork, salumi, aged Toma cheese, and tajarin with meat ragù.
