Luigi Einaudi Dolcetto di Dogliani 2023

A 2023 Dolcetto di Dogliani from Poderi Luigi Einaudi, made from 100% Dolcetto grapes from estate vineyards around Dogliani. The vineyards sit on calcareous marl and clay soils with south to southwest exposures. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by malolactic fermentation and a brief period of ageing before release. It shows a deep ruby red colour with violet hues. The nose offers fresh raspberry, cherry and wild strawberry, with subtle underbrush and a hint of almond. The palate is medium-bodied and dry, with juicy red fruit, lively acidity and soft tannins, leading to a pleasantly lingering finish with a characteristic almond note.
