Dosset - Altare Nicholas

Dosset -  Altare Nicholas

Altare's latest label is born from a deep connection to tradition and the desire to continue the legacy of a wine that has accompanied us for years: Ferdinando Principiano's Dosset. A seemingly simple wine, capable of candidly expressing the most authentic soul of the Langhe. Nicholas has long shared this journey, participating in its production and absorbing its most genuine spirit. Two weeks of fermentation on the skins in stainless steel and a brief aging in concrete allow the character of the fruit and terroir to speak unfiltered. In the glass, it expresses itself with the spontaneity of wines of the past: fragrant aromas, hints of crisp fruit, and a sincere, never artificial rusticity, which time in the bottle brings to greater harmony. The sip is agile, vibrant, and juicy, immediately inviting you to the next glass. A wine that is both everyday and special, the guardian of a rural memory that lives on in the present.

Service

It is recommended to taste it to a 16/18° temperature in tulip glasses. Instant wine that can withstand a few years of aging. We recommend to keep it in a horizontal position in a cool cellar, damp and dark.

Pairings

It perfectly combines the first traditional Italian dishes like pasta with tomato sauce or meat sauce, try the risotto with chicken liver.
