The Dolcetto D’Alba DOC
As a Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) wine, Dolcetto D’Alba is celebrated for its vibrant, approachable style. The region’s unique terroir, characterized by calcareous clay soils and a temperate climate, provides the ideal conditions for cultivating Dolcetto grapes. These native Piedmontese grapes are renowned for their deep color, moderate acidity, and delightful fruit-forward flavors.
Viticulture and Winemaking Excellence
The vineyards of Gigi Rosso boast vines averaging over 30 years of age, adding complexity and concentration to the wine. Adhering to traditional fermentation methods, the winemaking process focuses on preserving the natural fruitiness and freshness of the grapes.
