2022 Dolcetto d'Alba, Diego & Damiano Barale, Piedmont, Italy

Description

The 2022 Dolcetto is never aged in wood, in order to retain the purity and freshness of the fruit. This comes from a single east-facing vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, with grey marl topsoil surrounded by woodland. These vines were planted by Diego and Damiano Barale’s grandfather, Giuseppe Barale, over 50 years ago. As a result of these old vines and unique terroir, this Dolcetto has a delicate floral rose aroma, followed by beautiful blue and red fruits on the palate, and a serious depth. Overall, this is a wine of surprising profundity.

About this wine

Dolcetto

A native black grape variety of Northern Italy grown almost exclusively in the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria in Piedmont. It is relatively easy to cultivate, although it is susceptible to fungal diseases. It ripens before Barbera and Nebbiolo and is often grown in high north-facing sites which would be unsuitable for Nebbiolo.
