G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

This Dolcetto d’Alba is a vibrant deep purple in colour. The nose opens with notes of rose petals, raspberry, cassis, and sweet spices. The palate is vibrant and refreshing with a delightful balance of fruitiness and tannins. Flavours of raspberry, violet, red and blackcurrant carry through the finish.

As the vineyards are located at a high elevation, and are protected from thermal inversion, the fruit was allowed a longer hanging period for fuller ripening. Fermentation was long and gentle, lasting 12 to 18 days on average. The wine was then racked twice prior to malolactic fermentation, which took place in stainless-steel vats. Ageing took place in stainless-steel vats only, to preserve the varietal freshness.
