After harvest, the grapes are carefully handpicked and transported in small crates to preserve their integrity. In the cellar, they are de-stemmed and gently crushed before fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation follows, softening the acidity and lending roundness for a more harmonious, balanced profile. The wine is then transferred to a separate stainless-steel tank for a short period of maturation.

This wine has been tasted and highlighted.
"Very fruity profile. Look for strawberry, cherries and a bit of licorice. Great example of the dolcetto grape in a modern lighter style red!"
