Dolcetto d'Asti

Wine · PDO · 24 municipalities

Established in 1976 across 24 Piedmontese municipalities, including Canelli and Bubbio, the Dolcetto d’Asti DOC stands out from neighbouring appellations through its legal phrasing. Unlike Dolcetto d'Acqui, which explicitly mandates a 100% Dolcetto composition, Asti's regulations infer this total purity by stipulating only that vineyards must be composed entirely of the Dolcetto grape. This dry, ruby-red wine mandates a vintage indication on the label. Standard bottles must reach a minimum alcohol level of 11.0% by volume, but the 'Superiore' designation requires at least one year of ageing and raises the minimum natural alcohol threshold to 12.0%.
