Dolcetto D'alba

2016 Dolcetto D'alba Dolcetto

Azienda Agricola Voerzio Alberto Dolcetto D'alba from the 2016 vintage is a delightful expression of the Dolcetto varietal hailing from the renowned Dolcetto D'alba region. This red wine showcases a medium body, creating a charmingly round mouthfeel that is both satisfying and engaging. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the overall vibrancy of the wine while complementing its luscious fruit flavors. Expect a fruit-forward profile with prominent notes of black cherry and plum, which dance harmoniously alongside subtle hints of almond and floral nuances, contributing to its complexity. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing just enough structure to enhance its drinkability without overwhelming the palate. The wine is classified as dry, making it an excellent choice for various food pairings, especially with hearty Italian dishes or light appetizers. Whispering of the picturesque landscapes of its origin, this Dolcetto embodies the joyful character that the region is celebrated for.

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.
