La Merenda Menu

Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba is a vibrant red wine from the renowned Sandrone winery in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Made primarily from the Dolcetto grape, this wine is known for its deep color, rich fruit character, and smooth tannins. It offers aromas and flavors of ripe blackberries, cherries, and hints of almond, balanced by a refreshing acidity. The wine’s approachable, fruit-forward profile makes it an excellent choice for casual dining, pairing beautifully with a variety of Italian dishes such as pasta, pizza, and charcuterie.
