G.D. Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, Italy, presents a vibrant deep purple still red wine. Crafted from 100% Dolcetto grapes, this dry wine undergoes long, gentle fermentation and four months of ageing in stainless steel to preserve its varietal freshness. The nose offers an expressive burst of blueberry and delicate floral undertones. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing with red berry flavours, liquorice notes, and hints of clove and cinnamon. Certified organic, vegan, and vegetarian, it pairs wonderfully with pasta dishes or cured meats.

Vinification
As the vineyards are located at a high elevation, and are protected from thermal inversion, the fruit was allowed a longer hanging period for fuller ripening. Fermentation was long and gentle, lasting 15 days on average. The wine was then racked twice prior to malolactic fermentation, which took place in stainless-steel vats. Ageing took place in stainless-steel vats only, to preserve the varietal freshness and lasted for four months.
Flavour profile
This vibrant red wine offers an expressive burst of blueberry and delicate floral undertones on the nose. The palate is refreshing with a delightful balance of fruitiness and tannins, revealing flavours of red berries, liquorice, and sweet spice.
Serving recommendation
Serve lightly chilled at 12-14°C to best enjoy its vibrant fruit and freshness.
