Dogliani is THE Dolcetto country. Here, in southern Piedmont, the sometimes capricious grape variety finds ideal conditions: Calcareous, clayey soils that allow perfect ripening and a microclimate that combines elegance with structure. Pecchenino, which has been in family hands since the late 18th century, has perfected this combination – around three quarters of their production is Dolcetto, and San Luigi is the perfect introduction to what characterises this winery. The grapes come from several vineyards around the historic winery in Dogliani, all part of the San Luigi-Mencione, at altitudes between 390 and 430 metres with a south-easterly to south-westerly exposure. After the harvest, a ten-day maceration at 28°C follows before malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in stainless steel tanks. The wine is matured exclusively in stainless steel, which preserves the primary fruit and freshness of the Dolcetto.

Bright ruby red colour with violet nuances. Intense aromas of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and red cherries, accompanied by floral hints of violets and a fine spice of black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins, lively acidity and excellent balance – a Dolcetto that has structure without losing its friendly, accessible side. The finish is juicy, fresh and characterised by fine mineral notes. A versatile accompaniment to pizza, pasta, grilled meat and fresh cheeses – and proof of why Dolcetto is at its best in Dogliani.
