Product Notes

G.D. Vajra's Coste e Fossati Dolcetto d'Alba is a rich, intense Italian wine. On the nose, it offers a stunning bouquet of ripe berries and cherries, underpinned by subtle notes of violets. A sip reveals a splendid balance of juicy dark fruits and a hint of earthy minerality, with a soft and silky tannin structure. Matured in stainless steel to preserve its natural vibrancy, this medium-bodied red exhibits tantalising freshness, lingering complexities and a long, satisfying finish. Undoubtedly, it's an elegant expression of Dolcetto that reflects Piedmont's unique terroir beautifully.

Tasting Notes

A brilliant deep purple in the glass, this wine shows aromas of black plums and cherry compote with notes of liquorice and menthol. The lively acidity and silky tannins bring an amazing texture to the palate.
