Chionetti is one of the historic estates of Dogliani and among the leading specialists of the Dolcetto grape. Founded in 1912 and now managed by the fifth generation of the Chionetti family, the organically certified estate has helped redefine the reputation of Dogliani by producing site-specific, age-worthy expressions of Dolcetto. The San Luigi cru, located in the municipality of Dogliani at around 400 metres above sea level, is characterised by reddish clay-rich soils that contribute both aromatic intensity and structure. Chionetti combines traditional winemaking with minimal intervention, producing unfiltered wines that faithfully express their vineyard origins. A medium-bodied Dogliani DOCG made from 100% Dolcetto. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeasts before ageing for approximately one year in a combination of stainless steel, cement and large oak vessels. The wine is bottled unfiltered, preserving purity, texture and the vibrant fruit character that defines premium Dogliani. It is fresh and approachable in its youth while possessing enough structure for several years of cellaring. " Praised for its purity of fruit, floral complexity, vibrant structure and excellent value. " -- Geoffrey Moss |
