Il Bicocco, Monferrato Dolcetto DOC

Monferrato Dolcetto DOC: a dark red wine features pleasing cherry and plum scents accompanied by delicate nuances.

Like Barbera, this wine, which is typical of Piedmont, is obtained from the maceration of the grape skins, preceded by soft crushing and destemming, with alternating pumping over and délestage. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at 26°C, in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Then, malolactic fermentation is carried out at controlled temperature with the aid of selected bacteria.

This dark red wine features pleasing cherry and plum scents accompanied by delicate almond nuances and balsamic touches in the end. In the mouth it is soft, full-bodied, harmonious, with a good, elegant structure.

Ideal to accompany savoury first course dishes and aged cheeses.
