Dolcetto Di Diano D’Alba Superiore 2023

Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba Superiore 2023 is a classic expression of one of Piedmont’s most distinctive red wine appellations, where the Dolcetto grape reaches exceptional depth and character on the rolling hills surrounding the village of Diano d’Alba. The “Superiore” designation signifies a wine with greater structure and concentration, achieved through lower yields and extended aging requirements. Deep ruby in color, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, wild blackberry, violet, plum, and a hint of sweet almond, layered with subtle notes of earth, spice, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and velvety, offering vibrant dark fruit balanced by fresh acidity and the gentle, pleasantly bitter finish that is a hallmark of great Dolcetto. 

Approachable in its youth yet possessing enough structure to evolve over several years, the 2023 vintage is an ideal companion for rustic Italian cuisine. It pairs beautifully with fresh pasta, mushroom risotto, wood-fired pizza, roasted pork, grilled sausages, and aged cheeses. Unlike the more powerful Nebbiolo wines of the region, Dolcetto emphasizes freshness, purity of fruit, and effortless drinkability, making it an excellent choice for both casual meals and elegant gatherings. This is a beautifully balanced Piedmont red that captures the charm, authenticity, and everyday sophistication for which the region is celebrated.
