Much of the historical evidence available traces the origin of the Dolcetto grape variety to the Monferrato area. More specifically, this unique red wine is produced exclusively from Dolcetto grapes grown in 11 towns in the province of Alessandria, in the area around Ovada. It is produced in the versions Ovada, Ovada Riserva, Ovada Vigna and Ovada Vigna Riserva. The wine can be classified as Riserva only if it is aged for at least 24 months
Dolcetto di Ovada Superiore is excellent paired with a wide variety of dishes: from pasta with meat sauce, mushrooms or truffles to main courses of white or red meat. It is ideal also with cheese, possibly hard and aged. It is served at a temperature of 18-20 °C.
