Mandorlo is a proprietary name derived from the area where the vineyard is located, which is on the Ravera hillside in the village of Novello in the Langhe region.

In general, the growing season began with a cold winter which saw some snow, which then moved to a tricky spring, bringing heavy rains, gnarly frosts, and fierce hailstorms, which significantly cut yields. Eventually, summer arrived and July brought a dry heat that accumulated in a serious heat wave in August, which ran through to September. The long sunny days helped push the grapes to phenolic ripeness and removed any threat of rot or disease.

The 2021 Dolcetto d’Alba Mandorlo has notes of black cherry with scents of plum, berries and rose petals, offering a clear, graceful, and captivating nose. On the palate, you can appreciate an excellent harmony that enhances the drink-ability: crisp and fresh, however, it has a good structure, which is perfectly integrated into the wine.
