Dolcetto d’Alba DOC 2024 – Piero Benevelli

In the heart of the Langhe, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, this Dolcetto d’Alba by Piero Benevelli is born: an authentic and vibrant expression of one of Piedmont’s most iconic grape varieties.

The grapes, cultivated according to organic farming principles and with deliberately limited yields, are carefully selected to ensure concentration and quality. Vinification takes place in steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for 7-10 days, followed by aging on fine lees for approximately 6 months. An essential approach, designed to preserve the freshness of the fruit and the expressive immediacy of Dolcetto.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby red, with elegant violet reflections. The aromatic profile is direct and inviting, with notes of cherry, plum, and blackberry intertwined with delicate floral nuances of violet. On the palate, it is fresh and smooth, with crisp fruit supported by a pleasant minerality, typical of the area’s calcareous soils. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, while the acidity provides balance and great drinkability.

Versatile and convivial, it is a perfect wine for both aperitifs and meals, ideal paired with cured meats, pizza, first courses, risottos, and fresh cheeses.

A bottle that sincerely tells the story of the family tradition and Massimo Benevelli's production philosophy, based on respect for the land, minimal intervention, and a constant search for elegance and authenticity.
