Dolcetto d'Alba doc Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2018

The Dolcetto d'Alba of the Comm. G. B. Burlotto winery is an excellent red wine that shows a typical ruby red color with purple reflections. Its bouquet is floral and fruity, with notes of blackberry, raspberry and violet. The taste is very rich, in the mouth is well balanced and persistent. With a good tannicity and a good freshness, this Dolcetto is great to drink in combination with typical starters of the Piedmont tradition, such as veal with tuna sauce or raw meat, risotto with mushrooms or agnolotti.

The Burlotto winery is located near Verduno and was founded by the commendatore Giovan Battista Burlotto in the second half of the 19th century; the wines produced became a reference point in the Langhe soon. This was also thanks to the farsightedness of Giovan Battista, who began to sell wines in bottle in a period in which the wine was sold exclusively in demijohns or kegs. The current owner today is Marina Burlotto, which has 12 hectares of vineyards located in the area of Verduno, Barolo and Roddi, from which obtains an average production of 60,000 bottles.
