WINE DESCRIPTION

Prunotto Dolcetto d'Alba Classico is a red wine produced by the renowned Italian winery, Prunotto. The wine is made from the Dolcetto grape variety grown in the Alba appellation of Piedmont, Italy. The vineyards are located on hillsides with south-eastern exposure, providing optimal sunlight and drainage for the grapes. The winemaking process involves a traditional fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruitiness and freshness of the wine. The resulting wine is a classic example of Dolcetto, with a deep ruby color, aromas of red fruits and violets, and a dry, medium-bodied palate with soft tannins and a pleasant acidity. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a great choice for any occasion.
