Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba “Vigna Costa Fiore” 2023 | Cascina Adelaide
A refined Dolcetto from Diano d’Alba: lively, fruit-driven and elegant with soft tannins
What once was the everyday wine on the tables of Piedmontese families has today become an expression of refinement and tradition. Vigna Costa Fiore 2023, made from 100% Dolcetto, reflects the rich history of Diano d’Alba and offers a wine full of freshness, character, and elegance.
Origin & Grapes
The grapes, exclusively Dolcetto, come from the estate-owned vineyard in the heart of the prestigious Sorì Costa Fiore in Diano d’Alba. The vines benefit from an ideal southern exposure and grow on Tortonian soils. With a planting density of 5,000 vines per hectare and careful yield reduction, the vineyard produces concentrated fruit of exceptional quality.

Vinification
After a strict selection, the bunches are harvested by hand in 20 kg crates and brought to the cellar within hours. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature (approx. 32 °C) with 70 hours of maceration, frequent remontages and punch-downs. The wine then undergoes a spontaneous malolactic fermentation, followed by six months of micro-oxygenation to soften the tannins. Ageing: 3–6 months in stainless steel, preserving a pure, fruit-driven style.
