Dolcetto d'Alba

Dolcetto d'Alba is a DOC zone producing wines exclusively from the Dolcetto grape. Dolcetto is an important Piedmontese variety that’s suited to the calcareous tufa soils common to Barbaresco. The antithesis of Nebbiolo, it ripens a month earlier, producing wines that are low in acid yet high in tannins. Dolcetto d’Alba is the grape’s most highly-regarded incarnation and makes the perfect antipasti wine.

2017 Dolcetto d'Alba, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont

2017 Dolcetto d'Alba, Cascina Fontana, Piedmont
Cascina Mario Fontana, Piedmont, Drink now,
This single-vineyard Dolcetto has all the classical vibrancy and integrity which Mario Fontana has become famous for. Bright and deeply coloured, the nose is filled with blueberry and roses. The palate is ripe and super fresh with notes of black forest gâteau. There are also lashings of black cherries, wild herbs, ripe plums and racy redcurrants. This wine is not filtered or fined, capturing all the natural flavour and texture Mario works so hard to showcase from his vines. Drink now to 2023.
