The 2024 "Pian Balbo" is a vibrant and quintessential expression of Dolcetto, sourced from the estate's Cascine Drago property where the vines sit at a high altitude of 350 meters. The nose is exceptionally fresh and refined, offering a bouquet of ripe cherries, plums, and violets accented by delicate notes of almonds, sweet spices, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and "crunchy," balancing juicy flavors of sour cherry and redcurrant with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing, vertical acidity. The finish is dry and savory, marked by a classic hint of bitter chocolate and a clean, mineral lift. A traditional Piedmontese red that prizes purity and "vinosity," making it an ideal companion for pasta with meat sauce or lightly grilled meats.
