The 2003 Dolcetto d’Alba Bricco made from a piece of the Monprivato vineyard where the exposure veers from southwest to west, is a good introduction to the house style in its intensity, length, and concentration. The varietal notes are there, but this is anything but a fruit-driven, up-front type of Dolcetto and it will require a bit of time to come around.
