Single-vineyard dolcetto from the Montelupo Albese region of Piedmont. Instead of a "lesser" site in Barolo (as many producers have) Azelia has the magnificently well-sited 2.1 hectare, south-facing, 600masl Bricco dell'Oriolo that holds special value for winemaker Luigi Scavino. His mother's family originally owned this splendid vineyard which sits in front of the small church of the Madonna dell'Oriolo. Bright and intense red fruits with a subtle floral character that lends interest to this incredibly drinkable wine. Silky but firm structure. Reeks of Piedmonte. Looks a little like Nebbiolo in it's tannic structure. This is the stuff they drink every day in Piedmonte. Drink now and drink up!
