Here is a terrific value wine from the Langhe area of Northern Italy to pair with sausage pizza or sliced porchetta. The 2015 Dolcetto d'Alba is the quintessential food wine, with pulsing primary fruit, refreshing acidity and soft tannins. The wine offers zesty flavors of blueberry, blackberry and concentrated cherry, with rose hip and lavender at the back.

Like black cherry jam, this red is packed with fruit, accented by hints of violet and black pepper. Balanced and moderately long. Drink now. 700 cases made, 350 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
