Conterno Fantino Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia doc 2023 0,75l

Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia from Conterno Fantino is sourced from elevated vineyards around Monforte d'Alba, where limestone- and clay-rich soils give the wine freshness and spice. The vines are farmed organically, grapes are picked by hand and fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve pure fruit. The bouquet opens with dark cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant, joined by violets, almonds and a touch of liquorice. On the palate Bricco Bastia is juicy, medium-bodied and surprisingly deep, driven by lively acidity and fine, rounded tannins. A fruity, gently savoury finish with a hint of bitter almond makes this dolcetto an easy-going yet characterful choice with antipasti, pasta, wood-fired pizza and rustic everyday dishes. It lingers on the palate with impressive length.

Six months in stainless steel preserve the juicy fruit and the clear, fresh Dolcetto style.
