Serious juice. Inky-black in color, full-bodied, this powerful Dolcetto is still very backward on the nose, delivering just hints of earth, wild flowers and berries, but it packs it in on the palate, with mineral, ripe red- and blackberry character. Loads of well-integrated tannins need until around 1999 to soften. Thicker and denser than Scavino's fruitier-styled and more elegant Dolcetto.??–PM??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
