Alberto Voerzio

Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Dolcetto is receiving renewed interest as of late and with good reason. It plays an exciting role in food pairing with its more moderate acidity and intense colour and tannins (a decanter is almost always a friend to this grape). Planted on Alberto's west facing sites where Nebbiolo would have a harder time fully ripening, Dolcetto grown on Barolo's Tortonian soils gives a much more structured and serious expression than one would normally expect. It is nevertheless an awesome wine to dive into young while you wait for Alberto's Barolo's to age. It is nevertheless structured enough to develop nicely over 3-5 years itself! Bright, intense purplish red colour, find notes of blackberry, blueberry, ripe red table grapes, and black cherry. Medium-bodied and well-balanced. A beautiful example of the "little sweetie," as it translates! (This wine is unfined & unfiltered and may therefore throw a natural deposit with age.)

Region:  La Morra, Barolo, Piedmont

Appellation:  Dolcetto d'Alba DOC

Varietal/Blend:  100% Dolcetto

ABV:  13.5%

Vineyard:  Alberto Voerzio’s Dolcetto d’Alba DOC comes from estate organic vineyards at 300–450 m altitude, rooted in Totonian blue-grey marl, mixed clay, and fine sands. Carefully hand-picked and sorted for maximum maturity from select rows in late November.

Cellar: After meticulous hand sorting, grapes ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeast in stainless steel at controlled temperatures. The wine ages a year in steel, is bottled without fining or filtration, and contains minimal SO2, forming natural deposits as it matures.
