Dogliani 'San Luigi' Pecchenino 2025

The Dogliani “San Luigi”, produced by the Pecchenino winery, is the typical red of this area of Piemonte, always suited for the cultivation of the native grape variety Dolcetto, one of the most widespread grapes in the region. Present in these lands for centuries, it is a variety particularly appreciated for its ability to produce pleasantly fruity wines, which can be enjoyed even when young, especially appreciating their fragrance and expressive immediacy. The version proposed by Peccherino is no exception, interpreting the personality of the grape in a classic way, enhancing its best qualities, thanks to careful vinification in steel.

 The Dogliani “San Luigi” Pecchenino wine is the result of the experience of a historic winery in the area, which has been cultivating vineyards and producing wines since the late 18th century. The estate extends over an area of 28 hectares, divided between the Dogliani area and the Barolo area. The Dolcetto grapes come from selected parcels of the estate located in the hilly area of Dogliani at an altitude of about 400 meters above sea level, with sunny exposures facing southeast and southwest. The soils are medium-textured, of calcareous-clay nature. The harvest takes place in the second half of September and the grapes are sent for fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with a skin maceration period of about ten days, at a controlled temperature of 26 °C. The wine matures in steel tanks, in order to preserve its typical varietal profile, without wood influence.

 The Dogliani “San Luigi” red from Pecchenino is the classic everyday wine of the Piedmontese tradition. Its medium structure and fruity pleasantness make it appealing and very versatile in food pairings. Due to its particular characteristics, it is excellent to enjoy with first courses with meat sauces, spit-roasted poultry, or roasted white meats. Of a beautiful purple-red color with youthful violet reflections, it expresses lively and fragrant aromas reminiscent of ripe cherry, sour cherry, small forest fruits, delicate floral nuances of iris and violet. The entry on the palate is soft and velvety, with rich and ripe fruit, a well-integrated tannic structure, a harmonious finish, and balanced freshness.
