WINE DESCRIPTION
De Forville Dolcetto d'Alba is a high-quality red wine produced by the renowned De Forville winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from the Dolcetto grape variety, which is grown in the Alba appellation. The vineyards are located on the hillsides, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun, resulting in grapes with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruitiness and freshness of the wine. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a deep ruby color, intense aromas of red fruits, and a dry, slightly tannic finish. It is a perfect match for Italian cuisine, particularly pasta dishes and grilled meats.
