Ricciaia - Dolcetto d'Alba D.O.C.
€13.00
Tax included
Ricciaia - Dolcetto d'Alba D.O.C. Dolcetto is a traditional wine of Piedmont. Once racked, it undergoes a slow ageing in large wooden barrels that can last up to 12 months. Hence the term "Superiore". Indeed, the beauty of this wine lies in its highly enjoyable drinkability; its aroma is intense, recalling small ripe red berries with a hint of balsamic notes. It pairs well with mixed platters of cured meats and fresh cheeses, medium-aged tomas, and stuffed pasta first courses. Vintage 2021 750 ml bottle

The hedgehog is the symbol of the La Biòca winery because it is round and hard, just like a "biòca". The ricciaia is a pile of chestnuts, called "maròn" in Piedmontese dialect, which are part of the gastronomic tradition of Cuneo, the provincial capital.
