‘1593’ refers to the date of the first written documentation of Dolcetto in the archives of Dogliani; it’s a fitting title, since Nicoletta has made it her life’s work to reveal this grape’s profound connection to her special zone and its proud status among the most expressive and age-worthy wines in Piemonte. This unicorn bottling is the ultimate realization of Dogliani’s potential; made from her best and oldest parcels only in the best vintages, the ‘1593’ is a wine that pushes Dolcetto to the outer limits. Utilizing extended aging to maximum effect, the wine spends 6 long years in large cask before transferring to tank and bottle for a further 4+ years. Loaded with black fruit, game, plums, spice cake, herbs de provence and a touch of black cherry coulis, this is a remarkable wine that may very well break Dolcetto for you for the rest of your life. Only 1800 bottles produced.
