Dolcetto d`Alba, Casa E. di Mirafiore 2021

75cl bottle.

From the village of Serralunga d’Alba. These high and mid-hillside vineyards face south east and south west. The soil is rich in clay and calcareous marl.

Deep ruby-red with violet highlights. The fine, fruity bouquet has very persistent, clear-cut overtones of violet, blueberry, black cherries and rosemary. The taste is agreeably dry, and its pleasant almond aftertaste brings out its fullness with soft tannins.

It is excellent served with hot starters, pasta dishes, meats and fresh and medium aged cheeses.

History  1878
Emanuele Alberto Guerrieri, Count of Mirafiore, son of the first King of Italy, founded Casa E. di Mirafiore with his estates in Barolo and Fontanafredda. A noble farmer-entrepreneur, he dedicated himself to wine with an absolutely modern approach and, along with his oenological commitment, spent lots of energy for the community, completing the construction of the village for the community of employees, building farmhouses, cellars, stables and a church, and founding the F.A.O (Fratellanza Agricola Operaia), the first form of recreational club for employees.
