Tasting Notes
A lively, fruity wine with notes of black cherry, crushed cassis, blueberry and wild red berries complemented by hints of liquorice and almond. Harmoniously balanced with silky smooth tannins and a lovely long finish.
About
The two hectare vineyard has been organically farmed since 2010 and is located just outside of the village of Barolo. Situated at 300 metres’ elevation, the vines are planted with a south-westerly orientation, capturing the afternoon sunshine.
The Dolcetto vines are Guyot pruned and espalier trained in soils comprising sand, silt and clay. Planted at a density of 4,630 vines per hectare, they are carefully cultivated by hand, with green harvesting and thinning taking place to control yields and increase the concentration of flavour in the grapes. Harvest takes place by hand at optimum maturity.
The selected grapes were destemmed, crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks where fermentation took place at controlled temperatures not exceeding 26°C.
Maceration lasted for seven days, then the wine was pressed off the skins. It was then transferred to another stainless steel tank where it underwent malolactic conversion at 18°C. The wine was made without the influence of oak and once fermentation was complete the wine was stored in cement tanks until bottling.
The wine was made organically, with the minimal addition of sulphur.
