Autin presentation

Paolo: “When I can make Dolcetto d’Alba Superiore in the vintage, it is among my favorites. It is a wine that you don’t just drink, you almost eat it! Very full, fruity, fills the mouth… It’s a Dolcetto you don’t expect, a Dolcetto that comes out of the box. It is not born in the commune of Serralunga, it comes from a vineyard we have in Signo, a vineyard higher above sea level, with a red clay soil, very compact. Here the vines “go into stress” (fruit very little) and we have a very low yield, about forty quintals per hectare. This gives the wine a very important structure, a very strong acidity and a great freshness. Not every year unfortunately I manage to do this, I have to fight a bit with wild boars…But in the years when it succeeds, the superior gives great satisfaction.”
