Castelletto d'Orba is located west of Gavi. Here the best Barbera's and Dolcetto's that Piedmont has to offer are made. The Tacchino estate is located on the border of the appellations Monferrato and Gavi. Where in Alba (Barolo and Barbaresco) Nebbiolo is the absolute king, here grapes such as Barbera and Dolcetto receive the same royal treatment and especially the best vineyards, which often makes them superior to their namesakes from the region around Alba. For more than 3 generations, the Tacchino family has been producing high-quality wines here. Today, Alessio and Romina manage the estate that they took over from father Luigi. In the prestigious vineyards of Monferrato they make top wines under the appellations of Dolcetto d'Ovada, Barbera del Monferrato and Gavi di Gavi. The 2 most important vineyards form a natural amphitheatre that protects the grape vines from the cold north wind and form a 'climat' in itself. Their loving and expert craftsmanship can be tasted in every bottle of wine that leaves the estate.
Deep, dark color tending to purple. In the nose we find a lot of ripe fruit of cherries, blackberries, mon cheri and hints of violet and red flowers. On the palate, this lush but wonderfully mild character continues under the guidance of fine and soft tannins. Long, juicy finale that makes you irresistibly want more.
