The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba is classy and elegant all the way. In 2019, the Dolcetto is not as rich or dark as it can be, but the 2019 more than makes up for that with its perfumed, silky personality. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar and tobacco give this mid-weight Dolcetto lovely aromatic complexity and presence.

The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba focuses tightly on raw fruit, with forest berries and redcurrants. There are some secondary notes of bramble and rosemary essence, and you might pick up a subtle tone of crushed stone or aspirin. In all, this is a classic, albeit informal expression of Dolcetto to pair with an antipasto misto with cold cuts and local cheeses.
