Pecchenino San Luigi Dogliani 2022 – Piedmont’s Berry Bomb with Sass

Tasting Notes

Let’s skip the snooze fest—this wine rocks. Deep ruby-purple with violet flashes, it smacks you with blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and a cheeky burst of red cherry, laced with a mineral riff that whispers “terroir, baby”. On your palate it’s medium-bodied, with velvety soft tannins, a moderate acidity, and perfect balance that makes you want to sip again—and again.
