One of my favourite Piemontese grapes. I've got a Dolcetto piece in my long list of Piemontese wines to write about. If I can also throw Bartolo Mascarello, Marchesi di Barolo, Gillardi Cursalet Dogliani and Olek Bondonio into the mix of recommendations too!
Very interesting post (and thanks for the mention). On transportation of Fabio Gea's wines, I'd imagine Gergovie handles them well. Though Gea's wines are a bit spenny for me, I've had many zero-zero wines Gergovie import here in the UK and have never had problems. I understand that's largely a question of temperature control in transit and I think most good importers of natural wines have that covered.
Thanks! For transport, you're right it is mainly a question of temp but I've heard that agitation/vibration can affect phenolic structure in certain wines. I think it's one of the reasons why Emidio Pepe's rosé and young vine Trebbiano are only domestically as well though they still make it around the world on the secondary market so as you say it probably isn't such a problem - I go back and tweak the article a bit
This is so informative, thank you!

I look forward to it! I will definitely add those to my list

Emidio Pepe's rosé is the only one of his wines I've had. It was still beautiful even after transport, but perhaps it was even better before...
