It is a traditional Dolcetto that emphasises well the characteristics of a wine obtained from a careful and powerful vinification. The color is ruby with violet reflections. The scent is intensive and lengthy with fresh fruit aromas and accentuated presence of wild cherry. The taste is harmonious and the wine is well structured with an agreeable combination of right acidity and typical bitter after tasting that remains in the mouth after swallowing the wine.

Luciano Sandrone 2007 Dolcetto - Our Price $22.99

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:48:27 GMT

Dolcetto d'Alba is produced using 100% Dolcetto grapes from different vineyards. There are four production areas, two in Barolo, one in Novello and one in Monforte d’Alba. These areas are particularly suited for the production of Dolcetto d’Alba as the soil and the microclimate create a perfect environment in which the grapes can grow. The altitude varies from 250 to 500 metres above sea level and the average age of the vineyards is around 20 years. The most important factor that distinguishes each area is the exposure to the sun. The grapes are vinified according to the classic methods that have always been used but with the aid of modern equipment.
