Description

Allow me to introduce you to a gem from the heart of Piedmont, Italy: the La Querciola Cornole Dogliani. This isn't just a wine; it's a story in a bottle, a testament to the passion and dedication of the La Querciola winery.

Dogliani, a charming region nestled in the rolling hills of Piedmont, is the exclusive home of the Dolcetto grape. La Querciola has expertly captured the essence of this grape in their Cornole Dogliani. This wine is crafted entirely from Dolcetto, a varietal known for its approachable character and vibrant fruit. La Querciola, a family-run winery, embodies the spirit of tradition and innovation. Their vineyards are meticulously cared for, and their winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the Dolcetto grape to shine through. The result is a wine that is both authentic and expressive, reflecting the unique terroir of Dogliani.
The Cornole Dogliani pours a beautiful ruby red, hinting at the vibrant flavors to come. The aroma is a delightful blend of ripe cherries, blackberries, and a subtle hint of almond. On the palate, the wine is dry and medium-bodied, with a refreshing acidity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of dark fruit and almond. It is a very versatile wine.

This wine is a perfect partner for a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity and fruity character make it an excellent match for antipasti, such as cured meats, cheeses, and olives. It also pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, especially those with tomato-based sauces or pesto. For main courses, consider grilled chicken, roasted pork, or even a simple Margherita pizza. It is a perfect wine to enhance the flavors without overpowering the palate. The Cornole Dogliani is best served slightly chilled, around 16°C (60°F), to fully appreciate its aromatic complexity. It is ready to drink now but will also benefit from a few years of aging, developing even more depth and complexity. This is a wine that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Whether you're sharing it with friends and family or enjoying it on your own, the La Querciola Cornole Dogliani is sure to bring a touch of Italian charm to your table.
