Dogliani DOCG Italian Red Wine – Aged 2013 San Fereolo Superiore

San Fereolo Dolcetto Dogliani 2013
Hailing from Italy’s renowned Piedmont region, San Fereolo’s Dolcetto Dogliani stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Crafted from select parcels of premium vineyards and centuries-old vines within Dogliani’s hallowed terroir, this flagship wine embodies the essence of its esteemed producer.

The patience behind every bottle is unparalleled: seven years of careful aging—three in large Slavonian oak barrels followed by three to four years in bottle—allow this Dolcetto to evolve into a complex yet vibrant expression of its origins. Winemaker Nicoletta’s hands-on approach ensures each vintage reaches its full potential through extended aging, resulting in a wine that transcends its varietal norms with depth and elegance.

On the palate, this Italian red wine delivers a harmonious balance of fresh mineral tones interlaced with hints of mint and licorice, underscored by savory herbal undertones. Its lively acidity cuts through rich flavors, creating an unexpectedly structured finish that lingers long after each sip. Unlike many Dolcettos designed for early drinking, this bottling rewards patience with layered complexity, offering both immediate appeal and cellar-worthy longevity.

San Fereolo’s commitment to biodynamic farming shines through every bottle. By nurturing their vineyards without synthetic chemicals or interventions, they preserve the purity of Dogliani’s terroir—a rare find even among organic Italian wines. This dedication not only honors tradition but also ensures a clean, authentic taste profile that reflects its sustainable roots.

Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like braised meats or aged cheeses, this 14% ABV red wine combines approachable fruitiness with sophisticated tannins—a versatile choice for both casual enjoyment and special occasions. Aged Dolcetto enthusiasts will appreciate its unique maturation process and mineral-driven character, while eco-conscious drinkers find resonance in its biodynamic certification.

Elevate your collection or table with this exceptional example of Piedmont’s finest. Each bottle tells a story of patience, tradition, and harmony with nature—qualities that set San Fereolo apart in Italy’s winemaking landscape.
