WINE DESCRIPTION

Carlo Giacosa Cuchet Dolcetto d'Alba is a delightful red wine produced by the renowned Carlo Giacosa winery in the Alba region of Italy. This wine is made from the Dolcetto grape variety, which is known for its rich and fruity flavors. Sourced from the grapes cultivated in the estate-owned vineyard adjacent to the winery. Flourishing in compact soils rich in limestone and clay at altitudes of 220 to 240 meters above sea level, these vines bear fruit of exceptional quality. Following gentle crushing and destemming, the must undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine matures in French oak barrels, acquiring depth and complexity before further refinement in our cellar. This process yields a Dolcetto of great finesse, capturing the essence of the terroir.

Vibrant acidity and medium to high tannins provide structure and balance, while the wine's smooth texture leads to a satisfying finish, leaving a lingering sensation of elegance and depth.
