Dolcetto has long been part of the region’s wine heritage and holds its own Alba appellation, where it is known for approachable, food-friendly reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe available tasting note is for the 2020 vintage: it describes a generous nose of ripe cherry and raspberry, with hints of yoghurt, violet and juniper alongside subtle earthy, iodine-like nuances. On the palate, the wine is juicy and direct, with refreshing acidity, gently grippy tannins and a pleasingly slight bitter edge; a touch of bitter almond lingers in the finish. Its lively, unpolished style is best enjoyed while young rather than held for extended ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dolcetto vines grow in Sottimano’s Cottà, Basarin and San Cristoforo sites in the Barbaresco area, on parcels less suited to Nebbiolo but well matched to Dolcetto’s earlier-ripening character. The organically grown grapes are hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented on their skins in a traditional style. The wine is aged for nine months in stainless steel and bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe slightly cool, around 14–16°C, with salumi, grilled sausages, roast chicken, mushroom dishes or tomato-based pasta. Its freshness and gentle tannic grip also make it a natural match for everyday Piedmontese cooking. Decanting is not essential; a brief airing can open the wine if it seems reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sottimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55489854177617,"sku":"VC-8735140","price":16.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/sottimano-bric-del-salto-dolcetto-dalba-bio-2025-0.jpg?v=1793047937","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/sottimano-bric-del-salto-dolcetto-dalba-bio-2025","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
