Langhe DOC Dolcetto 2022

The one offered here by the Maccagno family winery is a fine red from the territory. Langhe DOC Dolcetto is produced from grapes harvested in the estate's vineyards with excellent southern exposure and an altitude of 220 metres above sea level. An ideal position, characterised by a favourable temperature range between day and night. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the cellar to be sent to processing soon. We start by crushing and destemming the grapes to obtain the must. This is subjected to alcoholic fermentation, with a maceration period of about 8 days. Once the transformation is over, the wine is drawn off and a long ageing phase of 5 or 6 months begins, always in steel tanks. This is followed by bottling and further ageing for a few months before marketing. What is obtained is a wine characterised by a beautiful, lively ruby colour with violet reflections. The nose is pleasantly fruity, with immediate hints of ripe red fruit. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be a wine of medium structure, soft and with a pleasantly almondy finish. Served at the right temperature, never above 18°, this Dolcetto is simply ideal to accompany cured meats, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.
