The Gianni Gagliardo Paulin Dolcetto d’Alba is a vibrant and approachable red wine that perfectly captures the essence of Piedmont’s classic Dolcetto grape. It offers a wonderfully fresh and fruit-forward profile, making it an excellent introduction to the wines of this esteemed producer.
The Gianni Gagliardo estate, based in La Morra, has been a family-run operation for generations, gaining modern prominence under Gianni in the 1970s. Renowned primarily for their elegant and terroir-expressive Barolo wines, the winery is celebrated for its meticulous vineyard management and balanced winemaking style. They are considered a benchmark producer in the Langhe region, consistently delivering wines of high quality and character.
In the glass, this wine displays a brilliant ruby-red color with youthful violet reflections. The nose is intensely aromatic, bursting with notes of ripe black cherry, plum, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, it is dry and harmonious with soft tannins and a signature, pleasantly bitter almond finish characteristic of the grape.
Serve this Dolcetto d’Alba slightly chilled, around 15°C (59°F), to best appreciate its bright fruit character. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with traditional Piedmontese appetizers, pasta with ragù, pizza, and assorted cured meats.
