Dolcetto di Dogliani docg "San Luigi" Abbona 2015

The “San Luigi” Dolcetto is produced with grapes coming from the old San Luigi vineyard, in an area where the soil is above all clayish: the wine is made following traditional procedures and it presents an intense ruby red colour with yellow-crowned nuances. The smell of this wine is fruited and fragrant, in addition to mature cherry’, blackberry’, current’ and floral’s hints. The taste of it is soft and balanced, but at the same time dry: for these characteristics it is ideal if accompanied with rich first courses, fried fish. Mixed boiled meat of Piedmont and roasts.

The Marziano Abbona’s cave was built in 1970, and it concludes its origins from Celso’s work, the father of Marziano, who has passed on the passion for wine, for vineyards and for soil. Almost 60 years ago, Celso decided to implant the Doriolo vineyards, that represented the best for the Dogliani Dolcetto’s production both for the exposition and for the soil’s nature. Once collected the heritage of his father, Marziano has obtained wines of high quality, by handling, devotion in the production of wines, which reflect the spirit of one of the best wine makers of the Langa.
