Clavesana Siamo Dolcetto

IT’S DOLCETTO TIME! “Siamo Dolcetto” “We are Dolcetto”.

Clavesana is the first Dolcetto grower of Earth. It is also Italy’s bestselling Dolcetto since 1959.

From 32 founding fathers 52 vintages ago, to today’s 350 estate owners: Clavesana’s 350 Co-vintners are growing with every vintage. Each Co-vintner owns about four acres of vineyard.

90% of what Clavesana grows and bottles and sells is Dolcetto: 300.000 cases. Clavesana sells 12% of
Dolcetto sold on Earth.

10% of Clavesana’s production is of the other main DOC and DOCG appelations of Piemonte. This 10% is branded LAN’s DOCs, which stands for Langhe Area Network: Piemonte’s Lan Party is made of 350 piemontese Co-vintners.

Clavesana’s logo features the ten landmark-”campanili” of the towns where Clavesana’s stakeholder’s population lives. They also stand for the towns of Dolcetto’s heartland population
The keys are the symbol of the town of Clavesana, which is named the Gate into the Langhe district.

When two Piemontese oxen call it a day, they have worked one “Giornata” — about one acre.
This particularity is at the root of Clavesana’s singular plurality in 1349 Giornate, about 1330 acres of
Clavesana’s vineyards. Clavesana’s microvinification is called: Vinificazione alla Giornata. And
“Allagiornata” are Clavesana’s Single Origin Dolcettos – Dogliani DOCG designated.

With the Wonderwines of www.vinoh.it Clavesana takes the other Piemonte appellations mainstream too.

2011 also marks the vindication of the original Dolcetto – named after its birthtown “Dogliani”.
Dolcetto is Dogliani – DOCG since the 2011 vintage.
