The wine region of Dolcetto d'Asti
Piedmontese DOC on the hills of Asti (around Nizza Monferrato and Canelli, ~200 ha shared with Moscato and Barbera), marl-limestone soils, temperate continental climate. Dolcetto is the exclusive king (100%, early-ripening): supple and fruity with notes of red cherry, plum, blackberry, violet and a typical bitter-almond touch, soft tannins and low acidity — best drunk young on the fruit. Lighter style than neighbouring Dolcetto d'Alba or Ovada. A convivial everyday Piedmontese red.
The wine region of Piedmont
Kingdom of Nebbiolo: Barolo and Barbaresco DOCG, long-ageing reds with firm tannins and lively acidity, complex aromas of withered rose, sour cherry, tar, truffle and undergrowth. More accessible, tangy Barbera on red fruit, supple, crisp Dolcetto. Sweet, floral sparkling Moscato d'Asti, mineral, lemony Gavi (Cortese) white, round, almondy Arneis from Roero. 50,000 ha across the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO.
The word of the wine: Acescence
An alteration in wine also known as pitting (hence the expression piqué wine), due to the presence of acetic acid and ethyl acetate, and characterized by a vinegar-like odor.
