Poderi Colla 2024 Pian Balbo Dolcetto d’Alba
Italian Red
Purple-red colour has violet edges, with cherry, plum, almond and spice. Ripe fruit, fine tannins and vinosity shape the palate. Dolcetto comes from a hilltop vineyard with established plantings. After manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. Skin maceration lasts five to seven days, followed by full malolactic fermentation and maturation in stainless steel before bottling.
Giuseppe Mascarello 2020 Bricco Mirasole Dolcetto d’Alba
Italian Red
Deep ruby-red tends toward violet. The profile is winey, strong, fruity and varietal, with a very dry, typically bitterish taste and an intense, elegant, well-balanced character. Fruit comes from a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Selected, thinned estate fruit undergoes traditional floating-cap fermentation at controlled temperature, followed by stabilization in an inert tank without oak. Bottling occurs one year after harvest.
Cordero di Montezemolo 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba
Italian Red
Cherry and raspberry lead an aromatic, garnet-hued red, with wild herbs, minerality and brown spice adding savoury complexity.

Carlo Revello & Figli 2022 Dolcetto d’Alba
Italian Red
Red cherry and plum lead this fresh, lively red, with a floral lift adding detail to the nose. The palate is generous without feeling heavy, bringing ripe red plum and black cherry into a clean, refreshing finish. Its easy energy makes it a natural partner for antipasti, tomato-based pasta, roast poultry or a simple plate of cured meats and cheese.
