WINE DESCRIPTION
Mossio Bricco Caramelli Dolcetto d'Alba comes from a single, one-hectare vineyard situated on a hill in Rodello, in the Langhe. Dolcetto is known as the 'little sweet one' on the account of its lower acidity compared to the other indigenous varieties of Piedmont. Soils are composed of limestone, with some clay and sand. Fermentation takes place in steel vats with maceration on skins, whilst maturation occurs in neutral vessels before being bottled, to preserve the varietal character of Dolcetto.
