Notes from the Winemaker:


Dolcetto di Dogliani doc
Born in the Einaudi vineyards positioned in the hills of San Luigi, Santa Lucia and Madonna delle Grazie in Dogliani. In the Dogliani area this traditional wine reaches its absolute best: ruby red with a fruity bouquet, a fresh aroma of red berries, with a final almond note. Ten months of maturation in steel tanks and two months in glass complete the refinement.

The wine

A traditional, easy to drink wine, which comes from a blend of Dolcetto grapes from the vineyards of the Einaudi estates which surround Dogliani; namely, on the hillsides of Madonna delle Grazie, San Luigi and Santa Lucia. Of a ruby red colour which tends toward violet, of a rich fresh fruity fragrance, full bodied with an intense aroma of undergrowth and a pleasantly tannic taste with a slight final almond note. Of a dry and moderately acidic taste, with an alcohol content of between 12-13 % Vol., after a year of ageing, it has a good body and full taste, with a final almond note typical of this wine.

Ratings & Reviews

90 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Supple and harmonious, offering aromas and flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate and iron aromas and flavors. The vibrant structure keeps this defined and persistent as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2014. 12,500 cases made." –BS (Apr 30, 2011)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2009 Dolcetto di Dogliani offers up dark red fruit, bacon fat, smoke and licorice in a surprisingly rich style for an entry-level bottling. This shows wonderful density and tons of Dogliani character. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012." - Antonio Galloni (Aug 2010)

Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Wild berries, blueberries and some natural rubber come to the forefront of this bright, young Dolcetto. In the mouth, it offers cooling fruit flavors with a hint of firmness in the form of polished tannins."  — M.L.  (9/1/2010)  — 87
