Elio Filippino Sorì Capelli Dolcetto d’Alba 2022
Dolcetto d’Alba DOC “Sorì Capelli” by Elio Filippino winery in Piedmont expresses a fruity bouquet with hints of cherries. A smooth and delicate taste that is easy to love! Ideal serving temperature is 18°C. Best to uncork a few minutes before serving to let the wine develop all its fragrance.
This Italian red is an elegant companion for all dishes, from the beginning to the end of every meal. It is particularly suitable for savoury appetisers and a perfect match for tagliatelle in a butter sauce or a meat sauce, “agnolotti” (type of ravioli) and medium ripe cheeses.
