Descrizione

The Dolcetto d'Alba DOC from Cascina Fontana shows a bright, inviting ruby color. On the nose it offers impressions of fresh red fruits such as cherry and plum, accompanied by light floral notes and delicate spices. On the palate it is lively and dry, with soft tannins and a freshness that balances the fruit; the finish is savory, easy to drink and leaves a pleasant fruity note. The structure is immediate and honest, conceived for everyday enjoyment while remaining versatile.

It pairs well with regional dishes and simple preparations: cured meats, first courses with uncomplicated sauces, white meats and fresh or medium-aged cheeses. Recommended serving temperature is around 16-18 °C and a short decanting if natural sediments are present. Ideal for those seeking an everyday red, versatile and direct, that conveys the typicity of Dolcetto without excess, signed by Cascina Fontana.
