2023 Borgogno Giacomo - Dolcetto d'Alba DOC (750ml)

The 2023 Borgogno Giacomo Dolcetto d’Alba DOC delivers the crisp, food-friendly structure characteristic of the Langhe valley, balancing ripe dark fruit with bright acidity and gentle tannins. Cultivated within the designated DOC boundaries surrounding Alba, this release highlights the Dolcetto variety in its most approachable form, offering immediate drinkability while preserving regional authenticity.

Tasting notes reveal a medium-bodied profile dominated by black cherry, plum, and crushed stone, layered with subtle violet and wild thyme accents. The structure remains clean and moderately tannic, with a finish that lingers pleasantly without heaviness. This vintage favors freshness over power, making it a reliable choice for everyday wine programs and meals requiring consistent pacing.

Pair this wine with dishes that complement its balanced acidity and mild tannic grip. It works seamlessly with slow-braised meats, mushroom risotto, tomato-based pastas, and aged semi-hard cheeses like Castelmagno or Toma. The bottle also suits cured charcuterie, roasted poultry, and herb-crusted pork loins. Serve at 55–58°F (13–14°C) to maximize fruit clarity and maintain a crisp finish across every pour.
