2024 Mauro Molino Langhe Dolcetto

Discover the vibrant charm of Mauro Molino Langhe Dolcetto, a lively red from Italy’s Piedmont region. Crafted by the Molino family from 100% Dolcetto grapes grown on calcareous-clay soils in Dogliani, this wine is hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel with a short maceration of 6-8 days. Its bright ruby hue radiates freshness. Bursting with raspberry and black cherry, it’s perfect for casual pasta dishes or charcuterie boards. This dry, elegant wine offers juicy acidity, soft tannins, and a hint of almond, capturing Langhe’s terroir with approachable, velvety finesse.

Nose: An elegant bouquet unfolds with raspberry, black cherry, and violet, accented by subtle almond and dried herbs. It’s fruity and inviting.

Palate: Juicy and balanced, the palate delivers red currant, sour cherry, and a touch of minerality. Vibrant acidity and silky tannins create a smooth, refreshing structure. Effortlessly lively.

Finish: Pleasantly bitter almond note and a chalky mineral edge. It’s crisp, urging another sip with Piedmontese flair.

This Dolcetto is a versatile gem. Pair it with pasta Bolognese or margherita pizza for a classic Italian match. It shines with grilled sausages, antipasti, or soft cheeses like taleggio. For a casual vibe, try it with roasted vegetables or a meaty lasagna. Its acidity and fruit-forward profile elevate savory, tangy, or earthy flavors.
