Dolcetto
The most important wine of the estate, the Dolcetto for the top wine is sourced from parcels found in prime positions, as well as the oldest vines of the estate. The 7-year wait from harvest to release reflects the importance of the “San Fereolo” to Nicoletta, who carefully tends the wine through its 3 years in large barrel before a 3-4 year hibernation in the bottle cellar.
After total destemming and crushing, wine ferments spontaneously in wooden tini. Cuvaison lasts c. 20 days. Wine remains on lees for 6 months following
malolactic. 24-36 months in 7-40-hl Slavonian oak botti. Unfined. Unfiltered. Organic. Biodynamic
