AROMA AND FLAVOUR                                                                                             
Purple-red in colour with violet-ruby flashes. Deep and vertical on the nose with fruity aromas which intermingle to create a pervasive, balanced bouquet. Cherries, plums and redcurrants are subsequently replaced by notes of spice and liquorice. The palate is forthright and full of character with tannins well to the fore, though it maintains plenty of softness and roundness. The finish is long and lingering. Demonstrably capable of ageing well for years.


AT THE TABLE                                                                                                                       
By no means a light table wine. Its structure and personality make it ideal even with the tastiest meat dishes. Excellent also with soups, cured meats and cheese.

Cascina Conte: High quality biological wines
The Company vineyards extend all around the farmstead on the San Luigi hills, one of the best areas for the Dolcetto di Dogliani production. The vineyards date back to the end of the 40s and they produce nearly 45-50 100 kilograms per hectare (the Dolcetto di Dogliani policy calls for 90 100 kilograms per hectare). In 2002 nearly 1,5 hectares of vineyard have been planted, half Barbera and half Nebbiolo, with different grafts according to the ground and using some fields historically vineyard cultivated. The care of the vineyard is all biological with an exclusive use of copper and quarry sulphur: no fertilizers and chemical fertilizers, these are some principles of the biodynamic and biological agriculture.

Cascina Conte is an agricultural company that produces biological wines
Cascina Conte produce a Dogliani Dolcetto (a wine variety from Piedmont) selecting grapes form different vine varieties, and a finer one using grapes of Pirocchetta, a 60 years old vineyard form which an extraordinary wine has been always obtained. We gained a new vineyard resulting from the mixture of 2 different plots of land (half Babera and half Nebbiolo).
