Description
What kind of wine it is
Luigi Einaudi Dogliani Superiore Vigna Tecc Madonna delle Grazie is a red wine from Piedmont that enhances the expressiveness of Dolcetto grapes. In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby colour with vivid violet reflections, introducing a fresh bouquet rich in fruity notes. On the palate, it offers a full and dry flavour, well balanced by moderate acidity and finishing with a characteristic almond note. It pairs elegantly with mature cheeses, pork and game, offering a harmonious profile if decanted for an hour.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in the heart of Dogliani, an area of Piedmont that enhances the vocation of the land. The vineyards stretch at an altitude of around three hundred and fifty metres and benefit from a south and south-east exposure, which favours the optimal ripening of the Dolcetto grapes. The vines sink their roots into marl-calcareous soils, an essential factor that gives the wine a pleasant freshness and a solid flavour structure. This combination of altitude and soil ensures remarkable ageing potential, allowing the organoleptic components to evolve in balance.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with meticulous fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a quick racking and the complete malolactic fermentation under monitored conditions. Afterwards, the wine rests in barrels, a stage designed to enrich its sensory profile and provide balance. Before the end of the year, the batch undergoes a brief return to steel to stabilise. This minimum one-year ageing is crucial for defining the robustness and prolonging the persistence typical of this esteemed denomination.
