The estate’s 2009 Dolcetto di Dogliani Briccolero reveals a touch more vibrancy, freshness and verve than the San Luigi. Dark blueberries, blackberries, violets and crushed rocks are supported by firm, yet beautifully integrated tannins. Clean, mineral notes frame the dark, intense fruit through to the long, satisfying finish. This is a marvelous effort. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019. Chionetti is a reference point producer for Dolcetto. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
