2021 Ruggeri Corsini Dolcetto d'Alba

The 2021 Ruggeri Corsini Dolcetto d'Alba comes from the heart of the Langhe, crafted by the passionate husband-and-wife team Loredana Addari and Nicola Argamante. Since leaving their city lives behind in 1994 to pursue their dream, they’ve been producing soulful, terroir-driven wines from their small, family-run estate in Monforte d’Alba—a village steeped in history and nestled within the vineyard landscapes of the Piedmont UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This Dolcetto d’Alba offers a lively, bright expression of the variety, with vibrant notes of red cherries, wild berries, and a hint of spice. Aged to retain its fresh, juicy character, the wine delivers a smooth, supple texture and just enough tannic grip to keep it structured without being overly heavy. With balanced acidity and an alcohol content of 14.3%, it’s a perfect example of Dolcetto’s easygoing charm.

Whether you’re pairing it with pizza, pasta, or enjoying it on its own, this wine captures the essence of Piedmont: approachable, food-friendly, and full of character. Ready to drink now, the 2021 Ruggeri Corsini Dolcetto d'Alba is a delightful representation of the passion and expertise that Loredana and Nicola bring to every bottle, making their dream a delicious reality.

"All Monforte fruit here from a special vintage.  The vines lay between 430-480m in Monforte.  Ruggeri Corsini take their Dolcetto production very seriously & have great pride in its release each year.  And whilst the job of Dolcetto is to drink with gusto (rather than admire like Nebbiolo), this is another very complex & impressive release. Raised only in stainless steel this is all about the fruit – and terrifically pure fruit at that."
