🏰 【A characterful and authentic Dolcetto d'Alba, crafted with freshness and precision, capturing the joyous spirit of Piedmont】. The 2022 Philine Isabelle Dolcetto d’Alba Dolcetto, despite experiencing water stress in the vintage, is crafted in a style that prioritizes freshness and precision. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation and 17 months of aging in stainless steel. It displays a deep ruby with youthful purple reflections. The expressive nose offers black cherry, blackberry, ripe plum, violet, almond, licorice, and delicate spice. The palate is juicy and straightforward, with crunchy dark fruits, lively acidity, fine tannins, and a clean, slightly bitter, savory finish. Expect notes of red and sour cherry, wild berries, with an earthy, juicy, and fleshy character. 🍴 Pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes like fresh pasta with meat ragù or mushrooms, charcuterie, semi-hard cheeses, grilled white meats, and rustic vegetable dishes. Also good with pork, beef, lamb, and game. 🥂 Ideal for convivial meals with friends, relaxed weeknight dinners, or as a versatile red for an aperitivo. It's enjoyable now but can hold for 1-2 years.
