Emilio Vada's winery is nestled among the picturesque vineyards of the softly rolling hills near Coazzolo, a small town that lies in an area that has been made part of the UNESCO heritage. This site, which is often associated with Nebbiolo, also expresses the power of lesser-known Piedmontese grapes, like this Dolcetto. Bursting with brambly dark fruit, the tannin keep the wine structured without being jammy and the acidy offers the perfect sprinkle of zest. Great with pizza and roasted meats. Keep this wine as your fall companion.
