2017 San Fereolo Dogliani

Nicoletta Bocca's flagship Dogliani is crafted from 100% Dolcetto sourced from the estate's oldest vines in prime, high-altitude parcels within the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. This serious and elegant expression undergoes extended aging for a minimum of 4 years in large Slavonian casks, followed by an additional 3 years of bottle aging before release. The wine showcases the varietal's characteristic deep color and structured profile, with pronounced minerality and fresh acidity that provide balance and complexity. This ageworthy wine demonstrates great aging potential while remaining approachable. The wine reveals a deep, brooding character with fresh mineral notes, mint, licorice, and savory elements. This vintage is lighter on its feet, leaning more floral than usual, delicate yet powerful at the same time and evolving throughout the course of the bottle.
