The 2010 Dolcetto d’Alba Augenta presents a higher-toned set of aromas and flavors than the Munfrina. Red fruit, espresso, sweet herbs and flowers are some of the notes that flesh out in this mid-weight, understated Dolcetto. The Augenta shows plenty of power as well as refinement. This is another strong showing from Pelissero. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. These are among the finest wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero. The 2008 harvest was very much on the later side and began in mid-October. The Vanotu was aged in 100% new French oak barrels, while the Nubiola and Tulin were aged approximately 60% in cask and 40% used French oak. Pelissero credits higher-quality barrels as one of the main reasons his wines are more elegant than in the past, but he isn’t giving himself enough credit.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel.
