Vinification of the Dolcetto d'Alba from Prunotto

The balanced Dolcetto d'Alba from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Dolcetto grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of sand, limestone, clay and marl. The grapes for Dolcetto d'Alba are harvested exclusively by hand at optimum ripeness, without the help of coarse and less selective harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the press house as quickly as possible. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for a few months before the wine is finally bottled.
