6 BOTTLES X 75cl

Variety: Dolcetto 100%

Origin and Soil: Vineyards of Barbaresco, Treiso, Alba and Monforte.
Originated by strong marine currents in the Mycenaean era, they are mixed terrain of sandy and clayey type

Tasting notes: Vibrant red ruby color. Vinous scent that recalls flowers and ripe fruit. Classical Piedmontese wine from all over the meal, is well suited for starters and cheeses. It is recommended to drink at a temperature of 16 ° C, between the first and the third year after harvest.

Climate: After the month of January and the first part of February, characterized by mild temperatures and low precipitation, in March there was abundant rainfall that provided a good water reserve on the ground.
The late cold generated a delay in the vegetative recovery that could be estimated around ten days for all varieties. This delay lasted until the end of summer, but began slowly but developed until the end of September. The 2016 vintage was certainly one of the longest in terms of durability in recent years and began with Arneis and Dolcetto on September 12 and continued without stops until mid-October with Nebbiolo.
Good vintage for Dolcetto, Barbera has long enjoyed good weather to acquire a good sugar content, however well supported by good acidity. Nebbiolo's harvest began to overlap with that of Barbera, and it came without any problems to complete maturity both from the technological and the phenological points of view.

Vinification: The grapes are very healthy and with a good balance of all the different components (sugars, acids and polyphenols). After pressing and steeping, the grapes reached a maximum temperature of 27 ° -28 ° C, with a maceration of 7 days.

Malolactic fermentation ended in mid-December, the wine has refined for several months in stainless steel tanks and in spring it was bottled.
