Brandini 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba "Filari Lunghi", Piedmont

Brandini’s Dolcetto “Filari Lunghi” comes from a single high altitude (440-450m), organic vineyard with around fifteen years of age, located southeast of Monforte d’Alba on a steep, west-facing slope composed of clay, limestone, and sand. First out of the glass are the bright red rose petals and flowers—hallmarks of delicious, high altitude Dolcetto. The variety has a lot of fruit (more red here than the typical Dolcetto) and has good tannin but soft acidity and pairs perfectly with simply prepared Piemontese food.
