2024 Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba DOCG Sori’ Montagrillo
A deep ruby hue introduces a fragrant nose of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum, accented by violet and a hint of almond. The palate is smooth, fresh, and engaging, carrying a wave of dark fruit framed by gentle tannins and a subtle, classic Dolcetto bitterness on the finish.

Appellation: Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba DOCG
Varietal/Blend: 100% Dolcetto
