The 2010 Dolcetto d’Alba is a pretty wine laced with freshly cut flowers, sweet dark cherries, menthol and licorice. It shows the energy and verve of the year along with a feminine personality that is highly appealing. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This is one of the strongest sets of wines I can remember from Moccagatta. The entry-level offerings are absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The Barbareschi are elegant and polished, with less overt oakiness than was once common. Moccaggatta’s 2008s are among the best Barbareschi in what has proven to be a highly irregular vintage. Simply put, I can’t say enough good things about these wines. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
