Dolcetto d’Alba, Mauro Veglio

DOLCETTO D’ALBA 

D.O.C.

The vineyards are located on the cooler, less sunny, north-facing slope of the hill of Cascina Nuova, the seat of our winery; and in Castelletto di Monforte on the cooler slopes. Here, we cultivate juicy grapes that give us a velvety, light Dolcetto d’Alba that is best enjoyed young and fresh

Variety

100% Dolcetto  

Age of vineyards

planted in the early 2000s

Vine training system

Guyot

Vinification

maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about 4 days before the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation is concluded in stainless steel (about 20 days), where malolactic fermentation also takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine is transferred to stainless steel until the following summer, when it is bottled without fining or filtration

Color: intense ruby red with deep violet hues

Aroma: ample, floral, with captivating vinous scents and noticeable aromas of violet and bonbons

Flavor: fresh, soft, and smooth, overall balanced and with light tannins, where young, vegetal notes blend elegantly with the correct amount of alcohol

Serving temperature

16°-18°C. It is particularly enjoyable to savor its initial freshness and then appreciate the evolution of its aromas as the wine slowly warms in the glass

Evolution

best drunk in the first years after release, but may offer surprising nuances even after several years in the bottle

Bottles produced

about 13,000
