2022 Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Jugendlich und traubenfruchtig! Leichte, harmonische Struktur.

Ausbau im Stahltank, um die frische Frucht zu erhalten.

The 2022 growing season will be remembered as early and surprising. Early because at the beginning of October the grape harvest was already completed and surprising because despite climate trends, the vines proved once again their unique capability of adapting. Winter weather patterns were unusual from the very beginning of the season: dry conditions and mild temperatures held steady throughout the entire vegetative cycle. A considerable lack of precipitation and rising temperatures, above seasonal averages, in the months of June and July compelled the vines developed adaptive mechanisms, limiting vegetative growth and reducing berry size. Under these conditions, clean, whole, healthy grapes reached peak ripeness yet berry size was smaller than usual, but with high sugar concentration levels.Harvesting operations for Dolcetto d’Alba began on August 30th and was completed on September 17th.
Grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed, and crushed. Maceration on the skins lasted for a period of 6 days at a temperature that did not exceed 27–28 °C (81-82 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed by mid-December. The wine was then left to age in stainless steel tanks. Dolcetto was bottled in spring.
