Dolcetto d'Alba Madonna delle Viole 2025 by Pietro Rinaldi offers an authentic interpretation of one of the Langhe's historic grape varieties. It comes from Madonna di Como, in the municipality of Alba, where the vineyards lie between 280 and 300 metres above sea level. The calcareous-clay soils and south-east-facing exposure contribute to the wine's freshness and distinctive aromatic expression.
Made from 100% Dolcetto, the grapes come from Guyot-trained vineyards, with yields of approximately 80 quintals per hectare and rigorous green harvesting. Harvest takes place during the first ten days of September, preserving the freshness of the fruit and the natural balance of the grapes.
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, at 24-26°C, with fermentation lasting approximately 8-10 days and frequent pump-overs. This is followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine then undergoes six months of ageing in stainless steel, a choice that preserves its varietal freshness and enhances its fruity character without the influence of oak.
In the glass, it displays a bright ruby-red colour with vivid violet reflections. The bouquet is intense and expressive, revealing aromas of wild violet and ripe blackberry. The palate is harmonious and layered, combining fresh fruit with well-balanced tannins. The texture is smooth and inviting, while a characteristic hint of almond emerges on the long, persistent finish.
Dolcetto d'Alba Madonna delle Viole 2025 by Pietro Rinaldi is a versatile Piedmontese red wine, best appreciated for its freshness, aromatic appeal and immediate drinkability. Its qualities are best enjoyed within the first three to four years after the vintage. At the table, it pairs naturally with traditional Piedmontese starters such as carne cruda all'albese, Russian salad and vitello tonnato. It also complements tajarin, agnolotti and a variety of red and white meat dishes. A warm and expressive Dolcetto d'Alba, deeply connected to the character of Madonna di Como.
