Grape: DolcettoVintage: 2020Type: Red This small-production red wine showcases dolcetto, crafted by former geologist Fabio Gea from old vines on calcareous marl slopes in Piedmont. The estate manages the tiny plot organically, utilizing spontaneous native yeast fermentation inside custom stoneware containers. Winemaking focuses on long aging on fine fermentation lees to encourage natural phenolic stability without wood manipulation. This zero-zero process captures an unadorned varietal identity centered entirely on soil transparency. It shows a bright ruby-purple color, releasing delicate aromas of dark cherry, wild raspberry, and violet petals over a background of stone. On the palate, the light-to-medium body is remarkably fluid and precise, balancing crunchy red fruit with a chiseled mineral baseline. Soft, fine-grained tannins provide a gentle grip across the fluid mouthfeel without aggressive extraction. A clean wave of mountain acidity cuts through the texture, maintaining great freshness. It finishes bone-dry, leaving a persistent mineral trace. Show more
