Acclaim
“This bright red is infused with violet, cherry and raspberry flavors, plus a flash of wild herbs. Firms up on the finish, where the fruit persists and a chalky sensation lingers. Shows fine balance and length.” — Wine Spectator, Sep 2024

Wine Production

Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu comes from a single vineyard located near the Dogliani estate. The vines are guyot trained, have a density of 5000 plants per hectare, with south-west exposure. The age of the vineyard is about 35 years. The soil is of medium texture tending to limestone with fractions of silt and clay. After destemming, the must, with part of the whole grapes, ferments in steel tanks for 15-20 days at a temperature of 26°C. After a first racking the malolactic fermentation develops naturally.

Ageing: 12 months in large oak barrels.
