2023 Dolcetto d’Alba



2023 Dolcetto d’Alba This is a new project for Fogliati and produced from a lovely single vineyard in Castiglione Falletto called Pugnane. The sandy soils are famous for producing grapes with delicate and refined structure – thus dolcetto! This is another example of the minimalized low intervention approach to winemaking. Create the opportunity for the vineyard and its fruit to express themselves by keeping it simple. Once again, less for more. Native yeasts, stainless steel fermentation and aging allows the palate to enjoy the fruit from this organic classic field.
