The 2008 Dolcetto d’Alba is a fragrant, mid-weight wine with pretty, dark fruit and subtle notes of menthol and flowers that add complexity on the finish. This is an especially soft, feminine Dolcetto. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.
These two entry-level wines from Prunotto – one of Piedmont’s historic houses – offer good varietal definition.
