Vignetti Luigi Oddero e Figli, Langhe Rosso "Convento" DOC, Piedmont, Italy 2021

A blend of Dolcetto, with some Barbera — and a touch of Nebbiolo for structure — from vineyards around the cellar at Santa Maria. Varietals are naturally fermented in stainless steel, assembled and matured for 6 months or so in cement (with the Nebbiolo component in cask) with spontaneous malo, and then assembled in the late Spring after harvest for bottling. Light and crunchy with violet-y berry fruit that speaks of its Dolcetto majority, yet with decent grip and structure.
