The 2022 Chionetti Dogliani San Luigi DOCG is a classic and terroir-driven expression of Dolcetto from Piedmont, sourced from the historic San Luigi cru in Dogliani. Produced from 100% Dolcetto and organically farmed vineyards, it reflects the region’s hallmark balance of vibrant fruit, freshness and approachable structure.
The nose is bright and aromatic, showing notes of cherry, blackberry and red berries, with subtle hints of wildflowers and a touch of licorice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a juicy, easy-drinking profile, combining fresh acidity with soft, gentle tannins. Flavours of dark and red fruit are supported by a smooth, balanced texture, leading to a clean, persistent finish with a lightly savoury edge.
The style is classic Dogliani—fresh, fruit-driven and highly versatile—offering immediate drinkability while still capable of short to mid-term aging over the next 5–8 years.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Italian red for customers looking for something fresh, food-friendly and easy to enjoy. Ideal for those who like Barbera or lighter reds with good acidity. This is not a heavy, tannic wine—it’s about vibrancy and drinkability. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now or over the next few years. Perfect with pasta, pizza or rustic Italian dishes.
