Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Dolcetto d'Alba 2024

Tenuta Paolo Scavino’s Dolcetto d’Alba 2024 is a fresh, characterful red from one of the historic names of the Barolo region. Made from the traditional Dolcetto grape, it combines lively fruit, delicate floral notes and polished tannins in a light, highly drinkable style—an inviting introduction to the Langhe’s everyday wines.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright purple colour in the glass. Its nose is fresh and delicate, with aromas of ripe cherry and blueberry complemented by subtle spice and floral nuances. On the palate, it is light in structure yet clearly defined, with attractive tannins and harmonious acidity that create a refreshing, gently vibrant finish. This is a wine intended to be enjoyed in its youth, when its lively fruit and freshness are at their most expressive. It can be served shortly after release and is best appreciated over the next few years rather than held for extended ageing.

Production
Dolcetto d’Alba is a traditional appellation of the Langhe in Piedmont, where the combination of hillside vineyards, varied soils and a continental climate helps preserve the grape’s natural freshness and aromatic character. The 2024 vintage is made in a fruit-focused style that emphasises clarity, lively acidity and supple tannins. Specific details of harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the wine’s profile suggests a careful approach designed to preserve the purity of the fruit rather than impart pronounced oak influence.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 14–16°C. Its fresh acidity and gentle tannins make it an excellent match for antipasti, cured meats, pizza, pasta with tomato-based sauces, mushroom dishes and grilled poultry. It can be enjoyed without decanting; opening the bottle shortly before serving is sufficient, although a brief period in a decanter may help reveal additional aromatic detail.
