Introduction:
The Domenico Clerico Dolcetto d'Alba "Visadì" is a vibrant red wine from the esteemed Piedmont region of Italy. Produced by the renowned Domenico Clerico winery, this dolcetto showcases the estate's rich heritage and dedication to quality.
Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards in the Monforte d’Alba and Monchiero area, the vines benefit from a combination of calcareous and clay soils. The region's continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, contributes to the development of grapes with balanced acidity and expressive fruit profiles.
Tasting notes:
The 2024 Domenico Clerico Dolcetta d'Alba "Visadi" was sourced from vineyards in Monforte d’Alba and Monchiero and was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. It has dolcetto's characteristic deep violet hue and opens with aromas of black cherries, plums, raspberry jam, and violets. The palate is medium-bodied, with flavors of blackberries, black raspberries, and black cherries, with subtle accents of baking spices and wet stone. The tannins are firm yet pliant, giving the wine structure without compromising the smooth texture. The finish is long, with lingering notes of red and black fruit characters.
