Azelia Dolcetto d’Alba, Bricco dell’Oriolo

Azelia Dolcetto is uncommonly juicy, fresh, and elegant. The wine comes from a single vineyard, Bricco dell’Oriolo, located in Montelupo Albese in the Alta Langa, one of the best areas of the region for this variety. The altitude and calcerous and sandy soils produce berries that are concentrated, producing a wine both fragrant and structured.
