The 2008 Dolcetto d’Alba is easily one of the finer Dolcettos in this vintage. Medium in body, the wine offers up an attractive array of perfumed black cherries, licorice and earthiness in a soft, refined style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
Vajra is one of Piedmont’s best kept secrets. Here readers will enter a world of sublime hand-crafted, artisan wines of the very highest level. Aldo and Milena Vajra’s passion comes through in spades in these terrific new releases, which I can’t recommend highly enough.
