Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu

Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu is a 12-acre single vineyard on the northern edge of Dogliani at the Pecchenino estate.  The Dolcetto is hand harvested and hand sorted at the winery where fermentation then happens, naturally, leading to a wine with complexity and personality.

Wine Production

Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu comes from a single vineyard located near the Dogliani estate. The vines are guyot trained, have a density of 5000 plants per hectare, with south-west exposure. The age of the vineyard is about 35 years. The soil is of medium texture tending to limestone with fractions of silt and clay. After destemming, the must, with part of the whole grapes, ferments in steel tanks for 15-20 days at a temperature of 26°C. After a first racking the malolactic fermentation develops naturally.

Ageing: 12 months in large oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Intense ruby red color with violet nuances. On the nose the wine is fruity with aromas of blackberries, blueberries and red cherries. There are hints of minerals. This wine is full bodied, with soft tannins and a good balance.

Food Pairing

Pairs wonderfully with pasta, grilled and roasted meat, and minimally aged cheeses.
