Pelissero - Dolcetto D'Alba Munfrina | Italian Red Wine

Dolcetto D'Alba Munfrina is a red wine made by Pelissero in Piedmont, Italy, with the Dolcetto monovarietal.

Dolcetto is one of the most important wines of the Pelissero winery. The microclimate of Treiso and its soil (extraordinary for growing Nebbiolo) give a very good tannic and sweet texture to the wine. The result is a balance between important structure and smoothness. The name derives from the old owner, a lady from Monferrato, who laboriously and diligently worked these lands.

The wine is produced by trying to bring out the best varietal characteristics with the help of technical tools exalting the characteristics of the grape: controlled temperature during fermentation and short maceration of 4/5 days in order to preserve as much as possible fragrance and drinkability. After a cold decanting, it rests in stainless steel cask for 6/7 months, plus 1 month in the bottle.
