The winery's everyday red, made in the classic Cherasco style with minimal oak influence to preserve Dolcetto's fresh, fruit-forward character. Ruby red with violet reflections, a vinous nose with pleasant fruity notes, and the soft tannins and easy drinkability typical of Dolcetto d'Alba.
This is what Dolcetto is meant to be — no fuss, no oak, just pure, purple-fruited drinkability.
