Langhe DOC Dolcetto L'Alteno
With a ruby-violet color; fresh fruit aromas on the nose; slightly herbaceous flavor. It is characterized by a moderate alcohol content and a light body.
It is called l’Alteno because, on an old map found in the attic dating back to the 1700s, there were vineyards planted using the Alteno method (they climbed up specific trees that remained dry all year round).
It is a fresh wine that suits many everyday occasions, pairing excellently even with a quick snack or a pizza.
