Preserved plums: nose
Pleasantly bitter and well structured tannins, great drinkability slightly sweet extract
Good stuff & fun (31 views) | | | Tasted by Lype on 4/27/2024: Dark toned bouquet, wee bit natural wine feel (what ever that is). The palate is slightly funky but retains clean and fresh character, rich fruit, round profile but good focus, blueberry pie, dark chocolate, pleasantly ripe plum flavors and violets. The aftertaste lingers nicely in the rear palate. In many ways this is in the same vein as Giuseppe Rinaldi's and Elio Sandri's Dolcettos, serious but a lot of fun, just lovely now. (276 views) | | | Tasted by MLipton on 4/17/2024: Drunk at dinner at Via del Corso in Berkeley. Quite dark and structured for a Dolcetto, speaking to its quality and the seriousness of its production by a quality Barolo producer. Dark, medium bodied and bursting with red-black berry fruit, it had the characteristic tail-end bitterness that I associate with this grape. Fresh and lively, it paired well with a variety of foods: tuna crudo and a roast duck leg in a beautful pan sauce. (360 views) | | | Tasted by GArpaia on 2/28/2024: Medium purple. Medium intensity. Violets, red cherry, raspberry, fresh, hints of wood. Medium tannins, ripe. Vibrant acidity. Medium body. 13% abv. Medium finish.
Natural cork. (515 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 1/27/2024 & rated 92 points: Tasted at Fruits of the Vine 2024 at Edition Hotel Singapore. Not able to write down tasting notes, only rating score. (654 views) | | | Tasted by GuanYu on 10/29/2023 & rated 88 points: Medium-dark purplish red with bluish-purple rim. Dark cherry, raspberry, plum, bubble gum, violet and wood. Medium-high acidity, medium-high tannin. Fresh and fruity. Good structure and nice grip on the palate. Long sweet finish. This bottle should be drunk in the next few years. (800 views) | | | Tasted by milmil121212 on 10/13/2023 & rated 92 points: 60 minutes decant.
This is an excellent dolcetto. Purple with medium body. Cherries, strawberries, herbs, a little anise and earth on the nose. Rustic in the mouth ... Medium+acidity, mouth coating tannins, cherries, sour apricot - maybe cranberry, earth, herbs. Some length to the finish.
There is a wild element to this wine that is super pleasing. It is rustic and feels very terroir driven. At the same time, it is clean. There is no Brett. There are some rough edges but also a purity that is very enjoyable and refreshing. (590 views) | | | Tasted by Drankard on 9/29/2023: Disappointing. (687 views) |

Giù il cappello di fronte a questo giovane produttore che non attua compromessi e va diritto per la sua strada , ecco un confortante esempio di giovani leve langarole.
La visita comincia dalla vigna (bonus) dove si pratica l'inerbimento e si cerca di mantenere il più possibile inalterato l' ecosistema vigna.
Le vigne sono piuttosto vecchie e ottenute da selezione massale.
La macerazione sulle bucce dura , a seconda delle annate , un centinaio di giorni e si usa la tecnica del cappello sommerso con steccatura.
Tecnica piuttosto "arcaica" ma a quanto pare piuttosto efficace.
Gli affinamenti in botti grandi e qualche barrique "scarica" è lunghissimo e alcuni vini escono anche dopo 10 anni. Dolcetto Varietal character (Appellation America)
Dolcetto, a northern Italian varietal from the Piedmont region, is a lighter bodied red. This wine is fruity and means 'little sweet one' in Italian. Some will opt to put a slight chill on it. Perfect with Mediterrean cuisine such as grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy as a summertime delight. from (Woodward Canyon website)Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorPiedmont Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only)
On weinlagen-infoAlba Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Roero
Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for the white truffle, peach and wine production. Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well. |
