Ceretto Rossana Dolcetto d’Alba 2007

Description

The wine ‘Rossana’ from the historic Ceretto winery is a Dolcetto d’Alba made exclusively from grapes grown in a splendid plot located right at the gates of Alba, named ‘Rossana.’ It’s a parcel long known for the quality of its grapes and esteemed by Ceretto as a precious Cru of the region. To preserve all the aromatic richness of the grape and its expressive maturity in the glass, a vinification process solely in stainless steel has been chosen, enhancing the Dolcetto’s varietal characteristics without any interference. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with a rather short maceration on the skins to avoid extracting too many tannins. The wine then rests for several months in stainless steel before being bottled.”
