Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia comes from high-altitude, organically farmed plots on the Bastia hills in Monforte d'Alba. The exposed location at an altitude of around 500 metres and calcareous marl soils give the grapes freshness, fine minerality and aromatic clarity. Bright purple-red colour with violet reflections. Juicy black cherry, ripe plum and a hint of blueberry on the nose, accompanied by delicate almond notes and a hint of violet. Dry, supple and harmonious on the palate, with ripe fruit, moderate acidity and soft, well-integrated tannins. A Dolcetto full of character that shows its origins from the heart of the Langhe with confidence and a charming drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia 2023 is lively, vibrant and full of character. In this vintage, the Dolcetto is slightly lighter in colour, which is due to both the altitude and the rain shortly before the harvest, which accelerated the harvest. These characteristics are reflected in the Nebbiolo-like colour and the light structure of the wine. Nevertheless, the 2023 is a marvellous classic." Vinous

"The aroma of pure raspberry introduces this juicy red wine, with notes of cherry and strawberry. Above all, however, it is inviting and accessible, with a firm but well-integrated structure." Wine Spectator
