Eraldo Viberti, "Vigna Vaglio" Dolcetto d'Alba DOC, Piedmont, Italy

This is a small family farm of about six hectares divided into three different kind of production: two hectares dedicated to Dolcetto, two to Barbera and two to nebbiolo grapes for Barolo wine. All the vineyards are located in La Morra, in the little village of Santa Maria where the cellar, called Prima, is situated. Up until 1987 Eraldo gave all the grapes to the local cooperative wine growers’ association.

Since 1987 vintage, he has started to produce his own wine. The starting point of this great adventure is based on Eraldo’s parents’ values: respect for the land and the work linked to tradition. 

Dolcetto, which translates roughly as "little sweet one", is often regarded as a lesser grape in Piedmont, behind Nebbiolo and Barbera but when it's good, it is fleshy, fruity, and fun.
