Wine Description:
Aurelio Settimo Dolcetto d'Alba is a testament to traditional winemaking in the esteemed Dolcetto d'Alba appellation of Piedmont, Italy. Produced by Aurelio Settimo, this wine is crafted with meticulous care, starting with short fermentations on the skins for seven days, ensuring optimal extraction of flavors and tannins. The wine then ages for 24 months in concrete tanks, followed by a minimum of 3 months in the bottle to further develop its complexity.

This wine is a quintessential example of the Dolcetto varietal, celebrated for its approachability and versatility.
