Having served as custodians of a cultural and sentimental legacy in the esteemed lands of the Langhe, Luca and Elena held the reins of one of Piedmont’s most celebrated wineries, Vietti, for over 35 years until their departure in January of 2023. Their new endeavor takes on a markedly different scale, emphasizing artisanal craftsmanship, and they eagerly anticipate its development as a familial pursuit. Grounded by their deep roots and extensive experience in the Langhe, they bring a remarkable blend of insight, wisdom, and revitalized ambition to this undertaking.
Vineyards lie in Monforte, in an area with particularly great natural biodiversity. Elena and Luca strongly believe in Dolcetto as an important “tool” for young wine drinkers and their entry level exposure to the Langhe. The grapes are vinified whole cluster and aging takes place in stainless steel for this fragrant rendition of Dolcetto.

A bright magenta ruby color, the 2022 Dolcetto D’Alba Bricco Lago is fruity and spicy with lifted aromas of crunchy mixed berries and fruit candied flowers, and a nice lift of spice. Like the 2023 that was tasted from barrel, this vintage also takes a page from the style book of cru Beaujolais and is bright and crunchy, with ripe tannins, a rocky texture, and a lot of crunchy fruit. Drink it over the next several years. (AF)
