TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Viticulture

Grape production is meticulously managed in the vineyard using only natural sulphurous agents. With a focus on manual and mechanical mowing between the rows we maintain soil health and biodiversity. Harvesting is conducted entirely by hand, with strict selection ensuring only the best fruit reaches the cellar.

​

Winemaking

After harvest, the grapes are carefully handpicked and transported in small crates to preserve their integrity. In the cellar, they are de-stemmed and gently crushed before fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation follows, softening the acidity and lending roundness for a more harmonious, balanced profile. The wine is then transferred to a separate stainless-steel tank for a short period of maturation.

2024 Vintage report

A Season of Vigilance and Reward

The 2024 vintage was shaped by a cool, wet spring that replenished water reserves but demanded constant vigilance against disease pressure. A warm, temperate summer followed allowing for steady, balanced ripening without the extremes of recent years. Harvest arrived later than usual, but the extended ripening period brought depth, freshness and refined aromatics to the fruit. While yields were modest, quality was widely praised, with the resulting wines showing remarkable aromatic precision, clarity and excellent ageing potential.

Profile

The Tenuta Il Finale Monferrato Dolcetto DOC is a compelling expression of Piemonte’s deep-rooted winemaking heritage. Crafted from 40-year-old vines in Castagnole delle Lanze, planted at 250m above sea level with an eastern exposure, the wine reflects the estate’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and precision hand-harvesting. Gentle crushing preserves the purity and freshness of the fruit, while precisely managed malolactic fermentation softens the natural acidity, enhancing balance and approachability. The result is a supple, expressive wine with layers of crunchy red berries and lifted acidity, crafted for immediate appeal.

Pairing

This fruity, approachable wine offers vibrant freshness and soft tannins, making it equally suited to relaxed gatherings and light bites. Best served at 14°C, it pairs beautifully with soft cheeses, mildly spiced dishes, such as ginger-infused recipes, and classic white meats.
