Dogliani 2014 Poderi Luigi Einaudi
Dogliani from Poderi Luigi Einaudi is a captivating expression of the viticulture of the Langhe, a land that nurtures its wines with a meticulous balance between tradition and innovation. This ruby red wine, in its glass, promises a sensory journey through sun-kissed hillside fields, where the Dolcetto grapes, the protagonist of this bottle, find their fullest expression.
The terroir in which this wine is born is of fundamental importance for its personality. The vineyards of the Luigi Einaudi winery extend over slopes that rise to about 350 meters above sea level. Here, on marly, clayey, and calcareous soils, the vines find their ideal habitat, shaping the unique character of the wine. The varied exposure of the vineyards gives Dolcetto an aromatic complexity and a structure that make it irresistible.
The processing of the grapes is a crucial moment in the creation of this wine. After meticulous manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain the must, which then ferments in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees Celsius. This fermentation phase, followed by racking and subsequent malolactic fermentation, gives Dogliani its freshness and lively character. The aging takes place in steel tanks, where the wine matures until the following spring after the harvest, acquiring complexity and harmony.
On the nose, Dogliani seduces with its fruity fragrance, dominated by hints of blackcurrant, plum, and delicate notes of violet, evoking the springtime perfumes of blooming fields. Its bright ruby color promises a captivating visual experience, anticipating a juicy and refreshing sip. The round and flavorful taste envelops the palate with elegance, culminating in an aromatic almond finish, leaving a persistent and pleasant sensation.
