Single vineyard Dolcetto from northern Italy

The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed and fermented in concrete. The wine remains on the skins for about 10-15 days, then is aged in stainless steel until the following spring.
On the nose you find wild berries, with hints of white pepper and sweet spices.
On the palate, raspberry, plum and blueberry, a hint of white pepper and a lovely almond finish.
This wine comes from a young vineyard located in Gavi, planted in 2016. The soil is a mix of Cessola's Marl and fluvial clays. This contributes to the soft structure and the lovely mouthfeel.
Food pairings include Spaghetti and Meatballs, Pasta Bolognese, Veal Marsala, Bruschetta, Lasagna, and Cioppino.

This wine is a lovely, little gem from Northern Italy, with tart, sour red cherries, cranberries, and the perfect pairing for any tomato based pasta or pizza! - Katy Barker, OWC

Back in stock! Juicy Morello cherry fruit, soft tannins and refreshing acidity make this a super midweek glugger. Directly imported from a young Piemontese producer whose wines are well worth following (Try his Gavi too!). - John Shuckburgh, OWC
