Sourced from a tiny, north-east facing plot of Dolcetto planted on clay-loam soils. After a manual harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented with native yeasts for just under a week. The wine is then pressed and racked in to concrete tanks where it ages for six months before being bottled without fining or filtration.
An intensely deep, opaque wine in the glass, the nose is lush with black cherries, plums, violets, anise, tobacco leaf and white peppercorn. Crunchy and fresh on the palate, the brilliant acidity carries waves of brambly blackberries and herbs to a spicy, earthy finish. All these dense flavors buttressed by smooth, polished tannins. The perfect Fall drinking companion.
