Dolcetto is not cosmopolitan and doesn't easily adjusts to different environments then the ones he's used to like its wrong name: duset, - that means sweet in dialect - memory of a peasant civilization that didn't know the marketing rules; a name that is not understood out of its country because it makes people think about a sweet wine.

Dolcetto on our hills has been all along the tree of bread: a fellow for life in thick and thin, it ensured a production even in scarce years because the best exposures, the white drained soils and the care and attention it requires have been dedicated to it. It's a bond land-man that continues from centuries and that we didn't want to break even knowing that we have to face many difficulties.

Our Company has been tied all along with this tendril: we have been cultivating Dolcetto for four generations and we insisted on it by planting other vineyards in the 90's when the sales and the diffusion of this wine seemed to have no history ahead with the introduction of new international tendrils.

Over the years we've seen alternating phases in the use of Dolcetto. Some periods in which it was a perfect stranger, others in which it seemed to be the focal point of the consumers, others difficult to be defined with new Italian and foreign competitors.

We have never thought about uprooting or inserting other varieties: we have vineyards of more then seventy years that saw even worst times. We have a belief and we have decided to pursue it taking not too much care about the trends of the moment.

To this days the Dolcetto of our production are four. And we believe that in these four Dolcetto we have found all the expressions that this tendril can give us: from the simple daily wine to the one with big structure and medium ageing. These four Dolcetto are also divided by different denominations: Langhe Dolcetto, Dolcetto di Dogliani, DOGLIANI.
