La Milla Dolcetto 2015 14%

Red fruit – Coffee – Leather – Tobacco Emilio and Maria Luisa Oliveri farm two hectares of vines in Piedmont – both in their 80s, they do everything by themselves, as they have always done. Emilio has dedicated his entire winemaking career to the Dolcetto grape and while it typically has a reputation as an easy-going, fruity wine to be drunk young, the wines coming out of Emilio’s cellar couldn’t be more different. Structured, full bodied, complex, and aged in bottle for a minimum of four years prior to release, this is serious Dolcetto. Emilio has never changed the way he makes his wine. Since the 1960s the wines have always been made as naturally as possible, with zero corrections or manipulations, always fermented with native yeasts, never fined nor filtered. A tiny sulphite addition is seen at fermentation, with none added at any point afterwards. Grape: Dolcetto
