The Dolcetto d'Alba DOC Basarin produced by Castello di Neive is a wine that captures the essence of the Dolcetto vine grown in one of the most prestigious areas, the Basarin vineyard, known for its privileged position and its soil particularly favorable to the viticulture of quality. This specific localization gives the wine unique characteristics, highlighting the most elegant and complex expression of Dolcetto.

Produced following traditional methods, the vinification of Dolcetto d'Alba Basarin involves controlled fermentation in stainless steel to maintain the freshness and authenticity of the fruit. Aging in steel for a few months before bottling helps to preserve the varietal characteristics and enhance the typicality of the terroir.

Visually, the wine presents itself with a deep, bright and inviting purplish red color. On the nose, the bouquet is intensely aromatic, offering aromas of cherry, blackberry and small berries, with nuances of violet and light spices that add complexity and charm. These floral and fruity notes reflect the excellent ripeness of the grapes and the quality of the Basarin vineyard.

In the mouth, Dolcetto d'Alba Basarin surprises with its structure and balance: the tannins are soft and velvety, well integrated with a lively acidity that brings freshness and drinkability. The palate is rich and full, with a repetition of olfactory sensations enriched by a pleasant aromatic persistence that invites another sip.

This Dolcetto is particularly suitable for accompanying traditional Piedmontese cuisine, such as appetizers based on cured meats and cheeses, robust first courses, and meat-based second courses. Its versatility also makes it suitable for a wide variety of pairings, including vegetarian and mushroom-based dishes.

The Dolcetto d'Alba Basarin from Castello di Neive is a testimony to the high quality that this grape variety can achieve in the hands of expert and passionate producers. It represents an excellent choice for those looking for not only the typical freshness and fruitiness in Dolcetto, but also greater complexity and depth.
