Winemaker Notes

Dolcetto grapes harvested during the vintage 2016 in the famous Doriolo vineyard deliver unique characteristics to Papà Celso. The intensity and strength of this wine have already come from its very load-rich, sumptuous and consistent color. The fruity component dominates the varietal aromas without missing floral and vegetable elements that complement its rich scents. The old and mature age of the vines, combined with the quality of the vintage, offers the well-known spicy taste as peculiarity of great value and complexity. In perfect balance with tasteful wealth, on can find the dry taste of tannins defining the harmony of this wine. It is therefore possible to expect significant evolution in the years to come.

Pairs well with first pasta dishes with ragù sauce, white meat, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve at a temperature between 16-18°C (61-64° F).

Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.

But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.

Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
