Pizzini Dolcetto 2022

The Dolcetto grapes were hand picked before being transferred to an open fermenter where they were hand plunged to add complexity and texture. Once the wine finished alcoholic fermentation, the free run juice was drained and the skins lightly pressed. The wine settled for a day before it was transferred to barrels for malic acid fermentation. It was aged in barrel for 12 months before being blended, fined and bottled.
