Purplish red color, fresh and decidedly fruity aroma, full and harmonious flavor that is rounded out in a pleasant bitter almond aftertaste.

DOLCETTO D’ASTI DOC
Dolcetto
0,75 L
It is one of the most typical and widespread grape varieties in Piedmont: traces of its presence date back to medieval times when it was presumably used in trade with Liguria. The name “dolcetto” does not have to do with the sweetness of the wine or the aromaticity of the vine, but it is likely to refer to the term dosset (low hills understood as the altitude of the production area).
