Roccheviberti 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba ‘Vigna Melera’
Tasting Note
Made from grapes grown in the clay rich soils of Claudio’s high ‘Vigna Malera’ vineyard. Around 300m in altitude and with vines averaging 20 years old, the Dolcetto here is brimming with ripe, cherry fruit, but has a depth, structure and substance far more exciting than most Dolcetto. All vinification has taken place in steel tanks, including 6 months of aging. This would go wonderfully with a good mature cheese dish or lighter meats.
