Winemaker Notes

Dolcetto Superiore is a niche appellation in the Langa. Our Nassone vineyard, consists of historic vines planted several years ago and located on the top of the Serradenari hill at about 500 metres above sea level with exposure to midday, could only give us an excellent wine with a very strong personality: "Superior" indeed!
