Mosesco
Dolcetto D’Alba DOC
2023
100% Dolcetto
Climate
The 2023 growing season was defined by warm dry weather that persisted until mid-May when abundant precipitation impacted the area, especially heavy in the area around Alba. Temperatures returned to normal levels at the beginning of July and were accompanied by several summer storms. These climatic conditions resulted in lower yields but did not adversely affect the future quality or ripening phase of the fruit. The grape harvest for Mosesco took place on September 15th and 16th.
Harvest and Vinification
Freshly harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place over a period of 6 days at a maximum temperature of 27-28 °C (81-82 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter. The wine was aged for approximately 6 months and then bottled.
Historical Data
