    Augere – to enlarge, increase. This hilltop above Treiso owes its name to the Latins because the vines here have always produced better grapes than elsewhere. At Bricco, 420 metres above Munfrina, the soil is different: hard, compact, almost stony, with a high lime content – centuries of erosion have long since carried away the sand and silt. What remains challenges the Dolcetto grape and gives it an atypical tannin structure for the variety. Giorgio Pelissero responds with equally atypical vinification: ten to twelve days of maceration instead of the usual four, then six months in 50-hectolitre oak barrels to tame the powerful tannins.

    Deep ruby red colour with a violet core, aromas of plum, cocoa and dark earth. Serious and gripping, with distinctive, yet polished tannins and a mineral-tart final of unusual length. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2024 Dolcetto d'Alba Augenta is a potent, large-scaled wine. Readers will find a structured Dolcetto with tons of varietal character, all amplified by aging in cask. Dark red plum fruit, blood orange, menthol, spice and tobacco give this broad-shouldered Dolcetto plenty of character." Vinous
