2024 Vintage report
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. whilst 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, whilst precisely managed malolactic fermentation softens the natural acidity, enhancing balance and approachability.

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.
