DOLCETTO D'ALBA
DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA
Each hill, even each vineyard, produces its own particular “Dolcetto”, with well distinguished and easily identifiable characteristics. It is thanks to the special mineral-rich soil composition of our Langhe area, if the Dolcetto from these areas – in addition to a remarkable structure – has a vinosity and a great richness of flavours and aromas that contradistinguish and characterise it.
