DO YOU KNOW
Served at a temperature of 16-20 °C, Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba is excellent paired with any meal. You may want to sip it over a dish of filled pasta, for example the “ravioli del plin”. Excellent with appetizers, “bagna cauda” and fresh or medium-aged cheeses. The "Superiore" version is wonderful served with slightly more mature cheeses.
