Cantina del Pino

Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

From the family-run estate Cantina del Pino in Piedmont’s Dolcetto d’Alba zone near Alba, Italy, a historic property in the Langhe hills managed by the Vacca family with roots stretching back to the early 20th century, the 2023 Dolcetto d’Alba is a dry, bright red made entirely from locally grown Dolcetto grapes that capture the region’s calcareous-and-sandy soils and cool hillside sites. It shows a deep ruby-garnet hue with a fragrant bouquet of fresh summer berry fruit and plum, hints of black pepper and subtle mineral tones, and the palate delivers juicy red and black fruit, gentle spice and fine acidity with a smooth, rounded finish that reflects its approachable yet characterful Piedmontese style.
