Dolcetto d’Alba d.o.c. from the Gramolere’s Farmhouse is a red dry table wine for everyday use, grown in the heart of the Langhe hills, near Monforte d’Alba (Cuneo).
It’s a well structured young wine (year 2013) that has to be tasted after breathing to let acidity and sapidity get softer in order to find the right balance.
It’s an intense ruby red wine with light purple shades, due to its young age. It is vinified using esclusively Dolcetto grapes.
The fragrance is nicely winy with soft herb and spicy hints (hay and almonds) accompanied by a dry acid taste with a bitter ending.
It is perfect if combined with simple dishes, starting from aperitifs or appetizers such as cold cuts, soft medium bodied cheese, omelettes, salty pies, raw meat…or with not too complex main courses like fresh pastas, risottos, legumes soups, roasts, stews or white meat scallops.
Served at a medium temperature of 18 C.
Have a good taste!

Joe, torinese D.o.c., annata 1981, si appassiona fin da giovanissima
alle gioie del palato scoprendo, grazie ai nonni, il buon vino e la cucina della sua terra.
Amante della buona compagnia, preferisce coltivare ed intrattenere i suoi affetti intorno ad una tavola sostanziosa, che sia quella della piola o dell'osteria più raffinata oppure, meglio ancora, se di casa propria.
Si diletta volentieri in cucina, sperimentando sempre nuovi e originali accostamenti enogastronomici.
Nel 2006, data la profonda passione per la Vitis Vinifera e la sua linfa, decide di diventare un Sommelier presso l'Associazione
F.i.s.a.r., in parole povere, beve e studia per quasi due anni fino al conseguimento del diploma finale, ottenuto fieramente in seguito a lunghe ed estenuanti degustazioni.

Joe is from Turin, Italy. She started loving good wine and food since she was very young, discovering the joys of the palate, thanks to her grandparents.
She has always liked entertaining friends and her loved ones around a well stocked table, full of delicious dishes.
She is pretty happy in the kitchen as she likes trying new and original eno-gastonomical pairings.
In 2006, due to her deep love for wines, she became a Sommelier (wine taster) with the "F.i.s.a.r". association.
In short, she studied hard and drank wines for two years in a row until she got the final diploma, obtained after long and exhausting tastings.
