Textbook high-level Dolcetto. Not reviewed in the US press but the British agent describes it well:
Ruby red in colour, delicate & fruity on the palate with red berries, cherry & violet notes. A velvety mouthfeel, slightly tannic & pleasantly dry.
And it has a 91-point score on CellarTracker, which also describes it accurately and well:
Light red hue that opens with red and black fruit aromas. Black cherry and licorice with slight almond notes on a medium length finish. A fabulous example of how lovely an everyday table wine can be.
Dolcetto is often described as Italy’s answer to Beaujolais, but I find the best Dolcettos, like this, far more flavorful and satisfying than any Beaujolais at their price point.
