Poderi Colla Pian Balbo Dolcetto d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy 2024
Pian Balbo Dolcetto d’Alba 2024 is a beautifully pure, classic expression of Dolcetto from the historic Poderi Colla, sourced from the estate’s Cascine Drago vineyard in the Langhe hills. The 2024 vintage opens with vibrant aromas of black cherry, plum, violet, and crushed almond, accented by subtle spice and earthy undertones. On the palate it is fresh, juicy, and medium-bodied, with bright fruit, soft tannins, and lively acidity that make it exceptionally versatile at the table while retaining the depth and structure expected from a top traditional producer. Stainless steel aging preserves its purity and immediacy, leading to a clean, energetic finish. It is positioned as an outstanding value-driven Piedmont red, appealing to customers seeking an authentic, food-friendly Dolcetto with freshness, character, and everyday drinkability.
