Description
Discover the vibrant character of Elio Grasso Dolcetto d'Alba, a standout red wine from Piedmont, Italy. Crafted from the Dolcetto varietal, this 750 ml bottle delivers 12% ABV in a balanced profile perfect for everyday enjoyment or special gatherings.
Picture vineyards perched at 280 meters above sea level, covering 1.5 hectares with a southeast orientation that captures ideal sunlight. The vines, trained in the Guyot style at 4,500 per hectare, thrive in loose calcareous soils, yielding grapes full of potential. Winemakers guide the process through fermentation lasting 5-6 days in stainless steel tanks, incorporating daily pump-overs for optimal extraction. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine rests in stainless steel before bottling arrives in May, preserving its fresh essence.
Expect a visual appeal with shades shifting from dark garnet to deeper purple. The nose and palate reveal berries and plums upfront, accented by bright berry notes and cocoa nuances. Soft tannins pave the way for lively acidity, rounding out with stewed red fruits that linger pleasantly.
This Dolcetto shines alongside casual Italian fare—think pizza fresh from the oven, hearty pasta dishes, roasted meats with herb crusts, or robust hard cheeses. At $38.48, it offers approachable quality from a respected Piedmont producer, making it a smart addition to your wine collection. Whether you're stocking up for weeknight dinners or exploring regional reds, Elio Grasso Dolcetto d'Alba brings reliable pleasure in every pour.
Ideal for those who appreciate wines with bright fruit and easy structure, this bottle embodies the charm of its hillside origins. Secure yours today and elevate your next meal with authentic Piedmont flair.
