Dogliani DOCG

A traditional wine, made by Luigi Einaudi as far back as 1920. From three different estate-owned vineyards in Dogliani with good altitudes, calcareous marl and clay soil and southeastern, southern and southwestern exposure. The wine is raised twelve months in stainless steel and a few months in bottle. The embodiment of its terroir, it is rich, fresh, fruity, full of flavor and easy to drink, featuring a slight almond note on this finish, a hallmark of the Dolcetto grape.
