Pregliasco 2012

Made from Dolcetto grapes grown on ungrafted vines in the vineyard of the same name that macerate on the skins for 12 days before maturing in glass-lined cement vats for 24 months. A rather intense and limpid ruby-red color with bright and lively reflections. Along with the varietal’s usual fresh, fruity notes there are hints of spice and some strangely distinct ones of white pepper. The mouthfeel is very different form the previous vintage, more flowing and with the alcohol less noticeable while remaining saline and balanced with very fine tannins.

Bottles produced: 2,400.
