Chionetti 'San Luigi' Dogliani Dolcetto 2021
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2021 Dogliani San Luigi is super-expressive right out of the gate. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, tobacco and incense give this mid-weight, fleshy, Dogliani notable depth. Creamy and layered, with fine balance, the San Luigi is a winner. (Drink between 2023-2029)" 90 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: San Luigi, official cru of the Dogliani DOCG, in the municipality of Dogliani is a Vineyard on the south-west side of the estate. The grapes were harvested and alcoholic fermentation took place in September. Ageing for about a year from harvesting until ready for sale. The wine is not filtered.
-
ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Chionetti family has been intertwined with vines since the 19th century. The pivotal moment occurred in 1912 when Giuseppe Chionetti acquired a farmhouse in San Luigi, an area in Dogliani particularly suited to vineyards. From that point forward, the Chionetti family became synonymous with Dolcetto. Dogliani stands indeed as one of the most historically significant and high-quality Dolcetto regions. By the middle of the 20th century, the Chionettis were one of the three families in Dogliani who bottled their Dolcetto. Quinto and his son Andrea were the first to include the names of the vineyards on the labels. Much later, in 2015, Nicola, Andrea’s son, took up the mantle in producing wine from the same Dolcetto vineyards and revived his father’s old project: the production of Barolo.
