A 100% Dolcetto from the Dogliani DOCG appellation, grown on hillside vineyards between 350 and 450 meters above sea level. Maceration takes place in stainless steel for 5–7 days at 25–27°C, followed by at least 14 months of aging — a minimum of 8 months in small oak barrels and 6 months in bottle — giving more structure and depth than Cascina Carrà's straight Dolcetto d'Alba.
Bricco Lago shows what Dolcetto can become with a little oak and patience — still generous, but with real backbone.
