Massolino Dolcetto d'Alba 2024

Massolino Dolcetto d'Alba is drawn from prime Serralunga d'Alba land and raised entirely in stainless steel, a wine the estate has made since 1896.

Dolcetto ripens earlier than Nebbiolo and is traditionally planted on the sites in the Langhe that Nebbiolo cannot use, giving deeply coloured, low-acid, softly tannic wine meant for the table rather than the cellar. Massolino crops this from an ideally positioned 3.2 hectares within the Serralunga d'Alba commune, with recent releases also including fruit from the estate's Cascina I Maschi vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. Vinification is straightforward and reductive, entirely in stainless steel tank with no oak, which keeps the perfume and the racy black cherry character intact. Only the best Dolcetto is bottled under the estate label; the remainder is sold in bulk. The bottle is sealed under screwcap.

Drink young, within two or three years; serve at 15-16C with salumi, veal meatballs or a plate of vitello tonnato.
