Elio Grasso Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi 2025 is a generous yet easy-drinking red that delivers freshness without ever feeling ordinary.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Dolcetto is typically vibrant and youthful, with a deep ruby hue that hints at its lively personality. The nose is fresh and inviting, showing ripe red and dark berries, floral nuances, and a subtle almond-like note that is classic to the grape. On the palate, it is medium-light in body, smooth and balanced, with juicy fruit, refreshing acidity, and soft tannins that make it immediately approachable. The finish is clean and pleasantly dry, with enough structure to keep the wine interesting while remaining centered on drinkability. It is made to be enjoyed young, while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their most expressive, though it can hold its shape for a few years after release.

Production
This wine comes from Dolcetto vineyards in the Langhe area of Piedmont, planted at around 280 meters above sea level and averaging about 30 years of age. The vineyards are family-owned and cultivated with a strong respect for tradition, giving the fruit a clear sense of place and varietal identity. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, ensuring only quality grapes are selected. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, where both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur with daily pump-overs to support gentle extraction and preserve the wine’s fresh, fruit-driven style. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months before bottling, allowing it to gain harmony without losing its immediate, lively character.

Food & Serving
This Dolcetto pairs naturally with everyday Italian cooking: pasta with tomato-based sauces, charcuterie, roasted poultry, grilled vegetables, and simple risottos. It is also a lovely match for pizza, mushroom dishes, and semi-aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, and decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Elio Grasso is a respected family producer in Piedmont’s Langhe, known for combining modern winemaking sensibilities with a deep reverence for local tradition. The estate has built its reputation on wines that are precise, balanced, and strongly tied to the character of the region. With this Dolcetto, the Grasso family continues that philosophy, crafting an honest, expressive wine that embodies the identity of their small, family-run winery.
