Descrizione

The Dolcetto d'Alba DOC of Scaletta, produced by the historic winery Piazzo Comm. Armando, is a refined example of the winemaking tradition of Piedmont. Coming from vineyards located in the hills of Alba, this wine best expresses the Dolcetto grape variety, characterized by an intense ruby color and lively aromas of red fruits, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by light floral notes.

The aging takes place mainly in steel, which preserves the freshness and genuineness of the fruit, giving it a soft but firm structure. On the palate, it is balanced, with silky tannins and a pleasant slightly bitter persistence, typical of Dolcetto. Perfect as a companion to flavorful appetizers, first courses based on red sauces, and white meats, this wine represents an effective synthesis between tradition and territorial vitality.

A sip of authentic Piedmont, capable of telling the territory with elegance and accessibility.

Winery history

The Piazzo family began their activity in the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio in the 1960s: the couple Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia invested in Nebbiolo vineyards and, beginning with the harvest that produced their first wine in 1979, the estate progressively expanded its range to become a leading name in the Langhe. Management later passed to the next generations, who have preserved the family character while introducing innovative practices in the vineyard and cellar.

Production philosophy

The winery combines an artisanal, family-run approach with respect for the land: vineyard care, attention to the Nebbiolo tradition, and the use of modern techniques to enhance the terroir expression of each cru.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the Langhe and Roero, with plots around Alba and in towns such as Mango, Neviglie, Guarene and Novello. The headquarters are located in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in the municipality of Alba.
