Tasting Notes

This single vineyard dolcetto comes from a very small parcel of land in the middle of nebbiolo vineyards dedicated to the production of premium Barbaresco wine. Despite the obvious economic advantage to growing nebbiolo to produce Barbaresco the Bianco family has insisted for generations that this plot of land be dedicated to dolcetto so they have their very own special dolcetto to enjoy. It is one of the finest examples in Piedmont and comes from very old vines.

The Dolcetto d'Alba Campot shows fragrant violets, juicy blueberry fruit and savoury mushroom notes in its delicate yet expressive bouquet. Ripe and juicy blue berry fruit is supported with fine chocolately tannins that lead to a fragrant, floral finish. This wine is beautifully balanced with generous fruit and fine texture. A surprising pair with fois gras or an easy choice for salumni platters.
