Sottimano's dense purple-colored 1998 Dolcetto Cotta is not the soft style of Dolcetto usually produced. This example possesses more structure than most (unusual for Dolcetto), but it is crammed with fruit, extract, and richness. Massive for a Dolcetto, with excellent purity, it requires 4-6 months of aging, and will last for 5-6 years.
