Azienda Agricola La Slina



La Slina is located in the ancient town of Castelletto d'Orba in Piedmont. Giorgio and Maria Cichero are the owners of this little vineyard. Rocco Rosso is a classic Dolcetto - exactly the type of everyday drinking wine you would remember from your travels in Piedmont.

Tasting notes: Bright, clean, fresh and fuity,  it's great by itself  or with pizza or light pasta dishes.
