Tenute Stefano Farina Soc. Agric. Srl, Via Provinciale, 46, 12055 Diano d'Alba (CN)
Dolcetto is a native grape variety of Piedmont, appreciated for its ability to produce fresh and fruity wines, with good structure and soft tannins. Despite its name, Dolcetto produces dry wines, characterised by fruity notes and a slightly bitter finish. Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba, in particular, has obtained the DOCG designation, which attests to its excellence and typicality. Located in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont, Diano d'Alba is a picturesque village known for its winemaking tradition and breathtaking views. This hilly area, characterised by clayey and calcareous soils, offers ideal conditions for the cultivation of high quality grapes. At the Stefano Farina Estates, the Dolcetto harvest takes place in the first ten days of September, when the grapes reach optimal ripeness. Aged exclusively in steel, this wine preserves its natural freshness and aromatic integrity. Bright ruby red in colour, the nose reveals a pleasantly vinous aroma, with dominant notes of red fruit such as cherry and morello cherry. On the palate the wine is dry, with good acidity and a nice balance. It has a pleasant freshness and a slightly bitter note on the finish. Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba goes well with meat-based dishes, such as roasts, grilled meats and game. It's also excellent with cured meats, medium-aged cheeses and, above all, typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine.
The history of Tenute Stefano Farina dates back to the 1930s, when Stefano Farina and his wife Giovanna ran a trattoria where, in addition to serving food, they also served wine. It was in this context that Stefano developed a growing interest in winemaking, and in 1939 he decided to start his own winery, despite the difficulties associated with the war period. In 1941, the family moved to Erba, in Lombardy, and it was here that Stefano passed on his passion for wine to his children, particularly to Giancarlo. After studying oenology in Alba, Giancarlo understood the importance of producing quality wine directly from one's own vineyards. Today the Stefano Farina Estates boast five properties located in some of the most renowned wine-growing regions in Italy: Piedmont, Tuscany and Puglia. The first acquisition dates back to the mid-seventies with ‘La Traversa’ in La Morra, in the heart of the Langhe region of Piedmont. Subsequently, the company expanded into the Chianti Classico, Alba, Casentino and finally Salento areas of Puglia, a region particularly dear to the family due to the founder's historical ties to wine production and sales. The company's philosophy is to promote the use of native grape varieties, using modern wine-making techniques, to obtain wines that reflect the essence of their territory.
