Dolcetto DOC Riocrosio, Why We Love It and Why You'll Love It Too
Dolcetto DOC Riocrosio, a curious name for a dry wine that comes from pleasantly sweet grapes, is one of the most iconic native varieties of Piedmont. Widely cultivated in the Langhe and Monferrato, it offers multiple expressions across its appellations. This wine, as Italians say, va giù come l’acqua! (It goes down like water!), thanks to its smooth and drinkable character.
Barbera d’Asti
“Rubino di Vinchio,” as Barbera is often called here, is a red wine variety that represents the Asti region in Piedmont. Known for its deep ruby color, Barbera d’Asti offers vibrant acidity and complex flavours. The grape grows in the hillside vineyards of Piedmont, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and well-draining soils that give it impressive structure.
Barbera d’Asti is versatile, perfect for both casual meals and fine dining. It’s a local favorite thanks to its bold yet approachable character. As it matures, Barbera gains depth and complexity, always reflecting the unique terroir of the land.
Vinchio Vaglio
The history of Vinchio Vaglio is a testament to the locals’ love for the challenging yet fruitful Monferrato region in Piedmont, where exceptional grapes thrive, giving rise to outstanding wines. Established in 1959 by 19 founding members who actively built the winery amidst tough economic conditions, the cooperative has grown to about 200 members. It stands as a model of viticultural excellence, consistently producing award-winning wines recognised by international critics.
