Fratelli Alessandria’s Dolcetto d’Alba DOC is a classic, approachable red wine made in Verduno from Dolcetto grapes. The vineyards are located between 250 and 370 metres above sea level, on limestone and silty soils. The vines are around 40 years old on average and trained using the Guyot system. The grapes are harvested by hand during the second half of September.
Fermentation and maceration take place for 6-8 days in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature of 25-27 °C. The wine then ages for 5-7 months in stainless steel or cement tanks, followed by at least 1-2 months in horizontally laid bottles. It seeks to express the variety’s characteristic fruity aromas, supported by a round and balanced body. Pleasantly versatile, it is ideal with all courses of a meal. This wine has been part of Fratelli Alessandria’s production since 1974.
