A great Dolcetto of Dogliani, with a few other wines is the head of a renewal of the interpretation of this vineyard, with the characteristics of an important wine. In the mouth it has a rich and consistent body. The balance of the extracts is great, with controlled tannins, typically contained acidity and great softness. Long and aromatic final with a pleasant touch of apricot-stone.
