Cascina Disa's entry point into the estate's traditional Piemontese winemaking, sourced from the north- and west-facing Dolcetto plots at Perno. Fermented in cement and aged around a year in large old Slavonian oak botti, it is unusually structured and age-worthy for a Dolcetto, reflecting Elio Sandri's minimal-intervention, native-yeast approach.
Sandri's Dolcetto is among the most age-worthy examples of the variety — proof that 'everyday wine' and 'serious wine' aren't mutually exclusive.
