DOLCETTO D'ALBA DOC

THE WINE

It’s one of the most classic Piedmontese wines and the village of Treiso has one of the best kind of terrain for this particular grape. The estate’s style seeks freshness, fruity fragrance and drinkability (all achieved with a fairly low alcohol content). Intense ruby-purple in colour; to the nose is characterised by pleasent floral and spicy sensations, roses and white pepper. The wine is versatile and adapts well to many pairings and situations.

Serving Temperature: 16°C.
