Dolcetto
75cl * Practicing Organic * 14.5% ABV * Piedmont, Italy
Brothers Diego e Damiano Barale "refounded" the company of their father Carlo, who passed away prematurely in the 1980s. Once they regained possession of the inherited land, located in Barolo and Monforte d'Alba, and of the Aie Sottane farmhouse, one of the oldest houses in Barolo which has now been restored, the brothers created the Diego and Damiano Barale agricultural company. They practice organic viticulture to allow the terroir to best express itself in the wines, although like many other practicing organic estates, you won't find certification on the label.
Made from grapes exclusively from the San Giovanni vineyard in Monforte, the brothers planted Dolcetto in the cooler top section of the vineyard and vinify in steel tanks all to showcase the freshness of the fruit.
This has a very fresh palate with some prickle, which is typical for Dolcetto, with aromas of wildflowers and sour cherry. Exceptionally drinkable, this would sing with a charcuterie board. Drink now and through the next 12-18 months. Serve between 16-18°C.
