Prunotto's Dolcetto d'Alba was obtained from 100% Dolcetto grapes grown in the company's vineyards located between Langhe and Monferrato for a total of 65 hectares of vineyards. After the harvest, the grapes were destemmed and crushed. The vinification process began with a 7-day maceration in contact with the skins at a temperature between 27° C and 28° C. After the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine rested for a few months in stainless steel vats. The choice of steel for ageing was made to maximise the vinous character typical of the Dolcetto grape which is also characterised by a good concentration of sugars and a low level of acidity and tannins.

DOLCETTO D'ALBA PRUNOTTO: TASTING

Prunotto's Dolcetto d'Alba DOC has an intense ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose, it expresses aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit combined with floral scents and decisive vinous notes. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, characterised by a delicate tannic texture and a pleasant fruity taste balanced by a gentle sapidity that persists in the finish. Excellent as a wine for the whole meal, it goes well with cold cuts and semi-aged cheeses as well as with first and second courses based on red meats.
