The Gianni Gagliardo Dolcetto D’Alba is a superb and authentic expression of one of Piedmont’s most beloved native grape varieties. This wine delivers a vibrant, fruit-forward profile that is both approachable and full of classic Italian character, making it an exceptionally versatile red.
Based in La Morra, Gianni Gagliardo is a prestigious family-run estate with roots in viticulture stretching back six generations. The producer is highly regarded for crafting elegant, terroir-driven wines, particularly Barolo, that reflect a deep respect for the land. They skillfully combine tradition with thoughtful innovation to produce wines of distinct purity and balance.
In the glass, this wine presents a brilliant ruby-red color with violet hues. The nose is wonderfully aromatic, bursting with notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, and a subtle floral hint of violets. The palate of the Gianni Gagliardo Dolcetto D’Alba is dry and medium-bodied with soft, well-integrated tannins and a signature, pleasantly bitter almond note on the finish.
To fully appreciate its fresh and fruity character, serve this Dolcetto slightly chilled, around 14-16°C (57-61°F). It is a fantastic food wine that pairs perfectly with pasta dishes, pizza, cured meats, and risotto with mushrooms.
