Gomba Boschetti Dolcetto d'Alba DOC "Galluccio" 2023 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Galluccio, Dolcetto d'Alba DOC proposed here by Cascina Boschetti, Azienda Agricola Gombo, is produced from the grapes of a farm vineyard located at about 300 metres above sea level, in the municipality of Novello, in the province of Cuneo. South-west exposure, to ensure good sunshine for the ripening grapes, the vines sink their roots into a soil rich in clay and limestone, with several layers of sand. Harvested by hand, with rigorous selection of the bunches, this Dolcetto is made using traditional methods, with fermentation at a controlled temperature and maceration on the skins for 5-6 days. No passage in wood is foreseen in this case, but a quick refinement in stainless steel tanks that continues until bottling. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose is pleasantly surprising for its fresh and vinous bouquet. In the mouth, it reveals a dry taste, with moderate acidity and a slightly almondy finish. It is the wine of the Langhe tradition and as such should be paired with the territory. Excellent, for example, with classic meat agnolotti. But it is also fabulous as an accompaniment to cured meats and cheeses. ...
