2009 Dolcetto D'alba Dolcetto

Cascina Ballarin Bussia is a delightful expression of Dolcetto, hailing from the renowned Dolcetto D'Alba region. This red wine exhibits a medium body, making it both approachable and satisfying with its lively character. The acidity is bright, adding a refreshing lift that enhances its overall drinkability. With prominent fruit intensity, it tantalizes the palate with vibrant flavors of dark cherries and blackcurrants, seamlessly interwoven with subtle undertones of earthiness. The tannins are moderate, providing a soft structure that supports the wine without overwhelming it. This vintage from 2009 presents a beautifully crafted, dry wine that embodies the true essence of Dolcetto, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and more refined occasions. Enjoy it alongside hearty pasta dishes or flavorful cheeses for a truly enjoyable experience.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
