The maceration of this Dolcetto on the grape skins at Roagna is done exactly the same way as for the Nebbiolo, lasting a little over two months. This is followed by a one-year aging in large wooden barrels.
Bright, delicate violet. Crisp, fresh, floating dark fruit of black cherries, cassis, blackberries, dark raspberries, intense violets, floating potpourri, grated nutmeg, and brown pepper. At the same time fresh, purist, and with exceptional complexity for a Dolcetto.
This floating light wine has only 12.5% alcohol by volume yet smells powerful and ultra attractive. An elegant entry on the palate is followed by electrifying freshness! Again, purist, crisp dark cassis and blackberry with floating floral aromas in the finish. Finely polished, soft tannins play with this crisp, fresh fruit, which Luca Roagna harvested rather a day earlier than later – it is that straightforward and precise. Aromatic blue flowers and dark chocolate linger in the very stylish finish on the tongue.
