Empty bottle weight:<\/strong> 470 g Grape variety:<\/strong> 100% Dolcetto Residual sugar:<\/strong> 1.19 g\/l The idea behind this wine is simple: bring Dolcetto back to its most immediate nature<\/strong>, as a fresh, easy-drinking red made to be enjoyed without too much fuss.<\/p>\n To achieve this, part of the grapes undergo whole-cluster carbonic maceration<\/strong>, while the rest are crushed and destemmed. After fermentation, the wine ages for five months in stainless steel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The result? A young, fragrant Dolcetto<\/strong> made for the everyday table. And when the weather gets warmer, you can even serve it slightly chilled<\/strong> and take it straight to aperitivo.<\/p>\n It is intense, clear ruby red<\/strong>, with lively violet reflections.<\/p>\n The profile is vinous and fruity<\/strong>, with marasca cherry and sour cherry<\/strong> accompanied by notes of violet and lavender<\/strong>. A light spicy note of clove<\/strong> emerges on the finish.<\/p>\n It is smooth, fresh and fragrant<\/strong>, with notes of marasca cherry, plum and raspberry. The finish brings balsamic notes<\/strong>, almond and a slightly bitter touch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The tannins are silky and lightly astringent<\/strong>. It is medium-bodied, with good savoriness and pleasant persistence, but above all, it is ready to drink now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This is an everyday red<\/strong>, versatile enough to accompany you throughout the meal.<\/p>\n Serve it at 16\u201318\u00b0C<\/strong>. In summer, try it as an aperitivo<\/strong> at around 14\u00b0C, or even a few degrees cooler.<\/p>\n To avoid:<\/strong> overly elaborate dishes. This Dolcetto is at its best with simple food that doesn\u2019t overpower its freshness and easy-drinking character.<\/p>\n \u2026You\u2019re looking for a young, easy-drinking Dolcetto<\/strong> that can take you from the dinner table to aperitivo.<\/p>\n What’s My Age Again? \u2013 blink-182<\/em><\/p>\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/4LJhJ6DQS7NwE7UKtvcM52?si=2fc9dedec9db40a5<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":66354,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[365],"product_tag":[],"pa_denomination":[4194],"pa_vine":[25],"pa_producer":[4186],"class_list":["post-66551","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-dolcetto-en","pa_denomination-diano-alba-docg","pa_product-type-still","pa_vine-dolcetto","pa_producer-abrigo-fratelli-en","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\n
