Description
Dogliani Zovetto 2021 Raineri
Variety: Dolcetto 100%
Intense ruby red with purple reflections.
The nose has aromas of fruit and flowers. We observe the cherry and the red plum, then the aroma of the grape itself. Also the sensations of the undergrowth, and of wild berries. In conclusion the aromatic herbs.
On the palate it is very pleasant, harmonious and in excellent balance. The minerality and a very light tannin, characterize the hardness, while the volume and the creaminess are discreet and functional to balance. Aromas of fruit and aromatic herbs reach the nose.
Overall it is really an excellent Dolcetto, capable of being a daily wine, but at the same time fully satisfying the one who drinks it.
Accurately accompanies an infinite number of traditional Piedmontese and Ligurian dishes. Bù di Carrù boiled meats, stewed rabbit in terracotta pot with thyme and Taggiasca olives, scottadito lamb chops, and red lentils with onion, celery, Pachino cherry tomatoes and Etna red chilli.
