Wine Overview

Dogliani 2023 by Altare is a Piedmontese red wine made exclusively from Dolcetto grapes sourced from old vineyards located in the San Luigi area. The vines are rooted in clay-limestone marl soils, a key element in providing balance, freshness and aromatic depth. This label represents one of the most authentic expressions of the Dogliani DOP appellation, highlighting the varietal character of Dolcetto without unnecessary intervention. The result is a dynamic, approachable and terroir-driven wine capable of combining apparent simplicity with remarkable precision. Its natural drinkability makes it highly appreciated by both wine enthusiasts and those discovering the great wines of the Langhe for the first time. A Dolcetto that places pleasure, authenticity and fruit purity at the center of the experience.

History of the Wine

The Dogliani appellation has long been associated with the cultivation of Dolcetto, the flagship grape variety of this part of Piedmont. Within this context, Altare interprets local tradition through an approach that respects both the raw material and the region’s viticultural heritage. The grapes used for this wine come from old vineyards that preserve an important legacy of biodiversity and agricultural history. The decision to focus on historic vineyard parcels allows for greater aromatic complexity and a strong sense of place. Dogliani 2023 is therefore the result of experience, deep vineyard knowledge and a commitment to faithfully expressing the character of Dolcetto. A vision focused on quality while preserving the spontaneity that defines truly great everyday wines.

Vineyard Philosophy

The quality of Dogliani 2023 begins in the vineyards of San Luigi. The old vines, deeply rooted in clay-limestone marl soils, benefit from ideal growing conditions that promote balanced grape ripening. Vineyard management is aimed at enhancing the expression of both the territory and the grape variety, preserving freshness, aromatic integrity and natural concentration. The naturally low yields of mature vines contribute to greater fruit intensity and a more defined sensory profile. Each harvest is carefully timed to achieve the ideal balance between sugar levels, acidity and phenolic ripeness. This approach results in an authentic Dolcetto that genuinely reflects its place of origin and the unique character of the Dogliani area.

Winemaking and Aging

The winemaking process for Dogliani 2023 is designed to highlight the purest and most fragrant side of Dolcetto. The grapes, harvested at optimal ripeness, ferment in stainless steel tanks with skin contact for approximately three weeks. This extended maceration allows for the extraction of color, aromas and structure while maintaining freshness and balance. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to concrete tanks where it ages for around nine months. The use of concrete ensures a slow and harmonious maturation process without adding external aromas, preserving fruit purity and varietal typicity. The wine is produced exclusively from 100% Dolcetto grapes, delivering a direct and unmistakable expression of the variety.

Tasting Notes

Color: Bright ruby red with youthful violet highlights that emphasize its freshness and vibrancy.

Nose: Intense and explosive aromas of fresh red fruits, crunchy cherry, raspberry and wild berries.

Palate: Juicy, smooth and irresistibly drinkable, offering the sensation of biting into freshly picked fruit, supported by remarkable balance and harmony.

Food Pairings

Thanks to its freshness and outstanding drinkability, Altare’s Dogliani 2023 pairs effortlessly with a wide range of dishes from Italian cuisine. It is an excellent match for traditional Piedmontese cured meats, rustic appetizers and lighter meat-based pasta sauces. The wine pairs beautifully with tajarin, agnolotti del plin and other stuffed pasta specialties from the Langhe tradition. It is equally enjoyable with roasted white meats, poultry and grilled dishes. Its vibrant fruit character complements medium-aged cheeses and flavorful vegetarian preparations. A versatile wine that finds its perfect setting in moments of conviviality and shared enjoyment.
