Filari Lunghi Dolcetto d'Alba DOC - Brandini

The elegant Filari Lunghi Dolcetto d'Alba from Brandini shimmers a bright ruby red in the glass. If you give it a little air in the glass by swirling it, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from Italy reveals wonderfully fragrant aromas of raspberry, sour cherry and elderberry, rounded off by other fruity nuances.

This red from Brandini is just right for all wine lovers who like as little residual sugar in their wine as possible. However, it is never sparse or brittle, as you would expect from a premium and single-vineyard wine. This dense red wine is balanced and multi-layered on the palate. Thanks to its moderate fruit acidity, the Filari Lunghi Dolcetto d'Alba flatters the palate with a velvety sensation without lacking freshness. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region finally delights with its beautiful length. Once again, there are hints of sour cherry and raspberry.

Vinification of the Brandini Filari Lunghi Dolcetto d'Alba
