Dogliani
Wine · PDO · 21 municipalities
Dogliani stands apart from other Piedmontese Dolcetto appellations by elevating the grape to DOCG status, requiring an uncompromising 100% monovarietal composition with no permitted blending. Within a production zone encompassing 21 municipalities—including Bastia Mondovì and Belvedere Langhe—the region's 547 registered producers operate under rigorous quality requirements. First recognized in 2006, the appellation restricts base yields to a maximum of 8.0 tonnes per hectare while mandating a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% volume. The resulting ruby-red wine is characteristically dry, balancing a typical fruity aroma with a distinctively almondy flavor profile that defines this specific terroir.
