Butterfly Cren

Up on the crest
I see butterflies dance
All lightness and grace, how they entrance.
My thoughts take flight
and I think of the clink
of a glass of Dolcetto
that makes my heart beat and my head feel light..
I see butterflies dance,
such a beautiful sight!

Production area and characteristics

The grapes of this Dolcetto come from the Langhe area, more specifically from Diano d’Alba hills. This area is among the most suitable to produce Dolcetto, both due to the soil composition and the geological conformation of the land and exposure of the selected vineyards.
