Ponderi Cellario Duzat Dolcetto Langhe DOC

Description

The family believes in only working with local, indigenous Piemontese grape varieties and fiercely defends local winemaking traditions both in the vineyard work and the cellar practices. Hand-harvested into small bins. Spontaneous fermentation with 4 to 8 days maceration. Aged in stainless steel for 7 months and bottle for 3 months. Bottled with minimal sulfur and without filtering. Dolcetto means “the little sweet one”, but the wine made with Dolcetto grapes are usually dry.

On the nose come notes of white pepper with hints of brambly red fruits. The wine is remarkably fresh yet satisfies with firm but silky tannins. The flavors that come through are herbal and fruity, with notes of raspberry, ripe cranberry, and pepper. The perfect wine with a fresh margherita pizza but also excellent with pasta and rich tomato sauces, grilled beef or mushrooms and charcuterie.
