Current condition

Young, with developing fruit and tannins

The wine is from the 2022 vintage, a very good year in Dogliani with sufficient structure and acidity for medium-term aging. Typical for Dolcetto-based Dogliani from a quality cru like Bricco Mollea, the wine gains complexity after 2 years of bottle age and stays harmonious for nearly a decade.

Food pairing

Pairs well with roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, grilled vegetables, and moderate cheeses like fontina or taleggio.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Use of cover crops, careful water management, limited chemical inputs, manual harvesting to minimize impact.

While Trediberri does not hold specific formal sustainability certifications, their commitment to sustainable viticulture is evident through eco-conscious vineyard management and relatively low-impact winemaking methods. Italian small estates commonly focus on environmentally sensitive farming given regional traditions and local regulations. Moderate transportation impacts due to export mainly within Europe, but longer distance shipping to other markets adds to footprint.
