Tacchino success at the Tre Bicchieri 2013 Awards

Bancroft Wines would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our producers, Alessio and Romina Tacchino, on their recent successes at Italy’s most coveted wine event, the Tre Bicchieri.
 
The wine in question, Du Riva, Dolcetto d'Ovada DOCG 2008 vintage, is exceptional. Made from  Dolcetto d’Ovada grapes from vines grown at 300 metres above sea level in clay-calcarous soils. The wine spends fifteen days in stainless steel vats, before being transferred to new, 225 litre French Oak barriques.    

For three generations the Tacchino family have been producing fresh and vibrant wines in the Montferrato area of Piedmont. The latest generation, Alessio and Romina, have attained a level of artisanship that is greatly prised in the industry.
