WINE DESCRIPTION
Pecchenino is located in Dogliani, which is an ideal growing location for the sometimes fickle
Dolcetto grape and San Luigi is a perfect intro to the unique characteristics that the line of
Pecchenino Dolcettos offer. The soils of San Luigi are calcareous, which lead to better
maturation of the grape and therefore producing an elegant wine with soft, integrated tannins
and a classic deep ruby to purple hue.
Due to the optimal growing location for the Dolcetto grape, around 3/4 of Pecchenino’s wines
are of this varietal. The remaining plantings consist of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Barbera
and Nebbiolo.
Dogliani San Luigi comes from vineyards surrounding the Dogliani winery. The territory is part
of the San Luigi mention from where the name of the wine originates. The vines are cultivated
with guyot and have a density of 5000 plants per Ha. The wine is the product of several
vineyards with south-east, south and south-west exposures. The soil is calcareous-clayey. After
pressing, the must ferments in steel tanks for 10-12 days at a temperature of 26°C. After a first
racking the malolactic fermentation develops naturally.
Ageing: only in steel tanks.
TASTING NOTES

soft tannins, moderate acidity and a good balance.
