The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba is a dark and satisfying red wine with fleshy, fruit-forward appeal. This was a hot vintage and Dolcetto loved the heat, literally putting on intensity and volume with each upward tick of the thermometer. You sense that clearly here. You taste toasted nut and cardamom, but winemaking for this Dolcetto is executed in stainless steel only. Because this wine sees no oak, those spicy aromas come straight from the fruit.

Broad and rustic, with grainy tannins accompanying black cherry, plum, earth and bitter green flavors. Tips to the bitter side in the end. 1,250 cases made, 435 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
