Description
Bring the honest, time-honored traditions of Piedmont, Italy, straight to your dinner table with a remarkably versatile, food-friendly red wine designed for effortless everyday enjoyment.
Hailing from the sun-drenched, rolling hills of Alba—a legendary viticultural zone in Northern Italy—the Duchessa Lia Dolcetto d'Alba DOC delivers a classic, straightforward expression of the regional grape. While the word Dolcetto translates to "little sweet one" in Italian, don't let the name fool you: this is a pleasantly bone-dry, well-structured table wine prized for its smooth, balanced charm.
Crafted in the premium wine district of Piedmont, Duchessa Lia handles the estate grapes using meticulous, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. By completely avoiding oak aging, the winery perfectly locks in the grape's pure, energetic fruit character, natural acidity, and youthful integrity. The result is an incredibly genuine and honest everyday Italian red that satisfies rowdy dinner parties and casual weeknight dinners alike
Red Wine – The hand-picked grapes collected in small baskets are softly de-stemmed and crushed in a small stainless steel tank. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration last about a week: during this stage we carefully follow the yeasts turning the sugar into alcohol with the help of frequent pumping over of the must and manual pigeage to optimize the extraction of coloured flavonoids from the skins.
