Dolcetto on the Langhe slopes
A single grape links Dolcetto d’Alba to the hills around Alba and the Belbo valley.
Dolcetto d’Alba comes from Dolcetto alone. Its hillside setting includes the layered marl and sand described in the specification’s account of the Langhe. That account distinguishes the Barolo and Barbaresco areas from the vineyards rising from Alba toward the Belbo valley. Knowing those place names gives you a way to explore the denomination beyond a single idea of Dolcetto.
