BIODYNAMICALLY FARMED
In contrast to youthful Dolcetto, this iconic Dogliani estate's flagship wine has greater earthy, savory elements and a mellowed fruit profile from the years in large barrels and then bottle. "...a vein of dense, warm fruit... fresh mineral notes, mint, licorice and savory elements...The oldest Dolcetto vines were planted in 1936, while the youngest date back to 1978...undergoes 15-20 day maceration in large wood vats, followed by spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. If a vat approaches higher temperatures (33 degrees), the must is racked into tank to cool it down before being returned to the wood vat. An elevage of 3 years in large barrel precedes 3 to 4 years in bottle prior to release, thus the wines are not released for a full 8 years after harvest." - ROSENTHAL WINE MERCHANT
Spontaneous fermentation; aged in neutral oak vats; unfiltered, light fining.
