The Dolcetto d'Alba di Costa di Bussia comes from the few rows that the company has of this historical, indispensable grape variety. The Dolcetto vineyard, precisely 0.83 hectares, is exposed to the south and influenced by the richness of the Bussia soil; the 11 hectares of Costa di Bussia are in fact all on the homonymous hill characterized by a heterogeneity of soils, partly consisting of sandstones and marls, partly of clays and marls. The small production that results from it is intended as the everyday wine of Langhe. The grapes are vinified in steel, just like the wine ages for 6 months in steel tanks before being bottled.
