Dolcetto Dogliani La Costa 2017 Chionetti
Dolcetto Dogliani La Costa 2017 is a natural wine produced by Chionetti. The grapes come from the "La Costa" vineyard, planted at the highest point in the San Luigi area, at 400 m a.s.l. Produced in the best years to guarantee the highest quality of the grapes, selected according to the age of the vines, about 3000 bottles are produced every year. All the production steps are followed with extreme care and dedication by Nicola Chionetti, heir of the great Quinto, who has transmitted to his family the love for nature and respect for the territory. Nicola has the merit of having converted the company into organic farming and working according to principles of natural viticulture, where the use of any chemical is banned. This Dolcetto Dogliani La Costa 2017, of the highest quality, undergoes refinement for at least two years of which a partial period is expected in a large unroasted French oak barrel. The wine is not filtered and has a ruby red color with violet reflections. The complex nose expresses an elegant bounquet of ripe red fruit and dried flowers. Of beautiful structure and harmony, in the mouth and fresh and fairly balanced. Being endowed with great aging capabilities, it would be appropriate to forget it in the cellar for a few years, to allow an adequate evolution through which this wine will give its best.
