The 2007 Dolcetto d’Alba is quite pretty in its vibrant dark fruit. In 2007 Grasso’s Dolcetto shows terrific freshness and clarity, not to mention great balance. Plums, violets, menthol and spices are some of the nuances that emerge from this very classic Dolcetto. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Grasso is a small, family-run property based in La Morra.
