Description
The Dogliani Superiore Pirochetta by Cascina Corte is a certified organic red wine made from Dolcetto grapes sourced from the historic "Pirochetta" vineyard, planted in 1946 and located at an altitude of 480 meters with south/south-east exposure. The calcareous, tuffaceous and clayey soil, together with the advanced age of the vines, contributes to the complexity and depth of this wine.
The manual harvest is carried out in the second ten-day period of September. In the cellar, fermentation occurs naturally with no added yeasts, with manual pump-overs and no filtration or fining. The wine ages for 18 months in stainless steel and concrete, followed by a further year in bottle.
To the eye, it shows a purple-red colour with ruby-violet highlights. On the nose, it offers a deep, vertical bouquet with fruity aromas of cherries, plums and currants, enriched by spicy and liquorice notes. On the palate, it shows drive and character, with softness and roundness balanced by a pronounced tannin. The finish is long and persistent, highlighting its excellent ageing potential.
Thanks to its structure and personality, it pairs perfectly with flavourful meat dishes, soups, cured meats and cheeses.
