From the village of Barbaresco in Piedmont's Alba district, the De Forville family has made Dolcetto since the 1940s. This vintage shows why: ruby red with violet edges, it opens with the variety's signature intensity of ripe cherry and plum. After roughly 10 days of fermentation in stainless steel, it rests in large oak 'botti' for six months, arriving harmoniously balanced—dry, clean, and built to pair with food. Classic Dolcetto in patient hands.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

This typical red of the Langhe region is harvested from three separate parcels spread between the communes of Barbaresco and Neive. The vines are an average age of 30 years. After a fermentation of approximately 10 days in stainless steel, the wine is racked into large oak “botti” for about six months, being bottled at the onset of summer of the following year. In vintages of normal production, we ship 6,000 bottles for the US market.
