The most important wine of the estate, the Dolcetto for the top wine is sourced from parcels found in prime positions, as well as the oldest vines of the estate. The 7-year wait from harvest to release reflects the importance of the “San Fereolo” to Nicoletta, who carefully tends the wine through its 3 years in large barrel before a 3-4 year hibernation in the bottle cellar. There is always a consistent vein of dense, warm fruit, which points clearly at Dogliani. Fresh mineral notes, mint, licorice and savory elements permeate, while a lively freshness in the finish begs for another bite of cheese or salumi!
