Dosio Barolo Fossati 2016
Fossati is an Additional Geographic Mention (MGA*), equivalent of the French term "Cru". [*MGA are officially delimited production areas within the Barolo DOCG Appellation and underline the strong link of the wine with the territory]. The blue marls and high elevation of the Fossati cru vineyard help concentrate the flavours of some of Dosio's oldest Nebbiolo. This vineyard is the true witness of the modern history of Barolo: the vines were planted between 50 and 40 years ago. Only the best seleted grapes are used for the Riserva, and it is not happening every year.

Colour

Garnet red.

Bouquet

Violet and cherry perfumes that evolve into light notes of chocolate, hay and leather.

Flavour

Pleasantly dry and complete thanks to the excellent balance between the acidity and the noble tannins of the Nebbiolo.

Pairing

Red mets, game, stews and savory aged cheeses.
