Cuvée Colombè features the Italian Dolcetto grape variety, typical of Piedmont. A variety that flourishes on sun-drenched limestone terroir, it produces a fruity, intense wine with aromas of cherry and wild plum. A well-balanced, fresh cuvée with a very pleasant finish. A wine for pleasure par excellence!
