The history of the Chionetti family has been linked to the vine from the 19th century. The turning point came in 1912 when Giuseppe Chionetti bought the farm in a suitable area for vineyards in San Luigi in the town of Dogliani. Starting from this moment the Chionetti family linked it own name with the dolcetto wine they were selling to the biggest traders of the area.

The 2015 Dogliani San Luigi packs a serious punch, with a huge core of dark red cherry and plum fruit, matched by intense tannins that need time to soften. Raspberry jam, smoke, leather, cedar and incense meld into the creamy, expressive finish. This is impressive stuff. Drink 2017-2025. Rating: 92 Points; Antonio Galloni; Vinous
