2022 Ada Nada Autinot Dolcetto d’Alba

Here’s a bright red that defies the ordinary: Ada Nada’s 2022 “Autinot” Dolcetto d’Alba delivers vibrant energy and sturdy character in equal measure. Grown on south‐facing slopes, the fruit expresses supple wild cherries and blackberries, backed by a minerally spine and gentle tannic grip. The vinification is clean—steel tanks, short cuvaison—so the varietal charm shines through. A wine that’s both polished and approachable, ideal for everything from weekday dinners to more intentional sips.

Nose: Deep red cherry and wild berry aromas lead, underlined by fresh violet petals and a subtle hint of peppery spice.

Palate: Medium‐bodied and lively. Juicy black cherry and raspberry fruit meet firm but refined tannins. The acidity keeps everything bright while the clay‐marl soils add a chalky undercurrent.

Finish: The finish lingers with a touch of almond skin bitterness and a trace of earthy minerality—dry, clean, and with a bit of stealthy depth.

This Dolcetto shines alongside rustic fare: tomato-sauced pasta, grilled sausages with herbs, roasted pork shoulder, or even a picnic with aged Parmigiano and olives. Its freshness and firm structure handle bold flavors without overwhelming them.
