Bright, dark shimmering ruby red with light, almost violet reflections - youthful and inviting in the glass.<\/p>\n
Chiara Boschis is a master at presenting the Dolcetto grape in all its finesse. This 2022 proves impressively that Dolcetto can do far more than just be a rustic everyday accompaniment. The nose unfolds a multi-layered interplay of aromas from Sweet cherry<\/strong>, Elderberry<\/strong> and Blackberry<\/strong>, which is infused with balsamic spicy notes. Juniper<\/strong> and coloured pepper<\/strong> lend a Mediterranean freshness to the bouquet, while hints of Leather<\/strong> and Cedar wood<\/strong> add subtle complexity. Fine notes of Cocoa butter<\/strong> and Milk chocolate<\/strong> round off the flavour profile - never intrusive, always elegantly integrated.<\/p>\n The true class of this Dolcetto is revealed on the palate: taut, juicy and of impressive precision. The fruit remains lean and focussed, supported by a lively acidity and a fine, silky tannin that never dominates. The spicy nuances of the nose return and give the wine additional depth. This is not a heavy, concentrated red wine, but a prime example of Piedmontese drinking elegance - animating, uncomplicated and more seductive with every sip.<\/p>\n The grapes come from our own vineyards on chalky to clayey soils with inclusions of pebbles and iron - pure terroir. The consistent ageing in steel tanks preserves the freshness and fruit intensity that makes this Dolcetto so accessible. With 13% alcohol, it remains pleasantly drinkable.<\/p>\n The versatility of this Dolcetto is remarkable. It harmonises perfectly with Bacon dumplings with cream sauce<\/strong>, open raviolo with braised oxtail<\/strong> or vegetarian with Beetroot carpaccio with walnuts and lamb's lettuce<\/strong>. An ideal accompaniment to Piedmontese cuisine, but also to savoury pasta dishes and mature cheeses.<\/p>\n With this Dolcetto, Chiara Boschis proves that traditional grape varieties can become exceptional wines in the right hands. A wine that redefines Dolcetto - delicate instead of rustic, elegant instead of heavy.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Palate<\/h3>\n
