Floral and dusty on the nose, with a nice bitterness and grit on the palate. (3359 views) | | | Tasted by mcbrown76 on 3/5/2015 & rated 90 points: Such a beautiful pairing with pizza or pasta, this is a simple wine from Roagna, but still such a great traditional wine. (3649 views) | | | Tasted by DoubleMagnum on 11/14/2014 & rated 87 points: Rustic, dusty on the palate and medium plus acidity. This should be a very good food wine. Only had a glass as I used the rest for coq au vin. (3873 views) | | | Tasted by BklynNeophyte on 9/19/2014 & rated 88 points: Nice, a bit bitter. (4097 views) | | | Tasted by Chiantihound on 8/12/2014 & rated 87 points: From memory. Dark maroon, purple, opaque. Medium nose, palate that was a cross between a chianti and a lighter more lithe wine like an Etna, if you get what I mean. Etna is not really light but more saline. (2253 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 6/5/2014: Roasty toasty. Not that good. But it just arrived from overseas and it has been open a day. So I am being told to ignore it. (2051 views) | | | Tasted by Harley1199 on 6/4/2014: Italian Show by La Cava de Pyrene (Restaurante Couzapin - Madrid): Wet animal fur on the nose.
At first aromas of violets and green bergamot peel.
Light with a watery texture on the palate.
Pelo de animal mojado en nariz
Violetas al principio y a piel de bergamota verde
Ligero y acuoso en boca. (2750 views) | | | Tasted by Ben H. on 4/6/2014: I really enjoyed this Dolcetto and its glou-glou style. Sour cherry and malt flavors, a slightly lactic texture. I did not find it to be that tannic for a Dolcetto, in contrast to the notes above. Not so aromatically complex but a great everyday food wine that reminded me of some of the better Beaujolais nouveaux (Ducroux, Foillard). (1589 views) | | | Tasted by fCOT on 3/18/2014 & rated 90 points: Bright, aromatic, funky with violets, black olives, blackberries. A pot pouri of pure flavors in your mouth. Mouthwatering. For lovers of natural wine ! Stunning (1377 views) | | | Tasted by David Paris (dbp) on 3/15/2014 & rated 88 points: Louis/Dressner Tasting with all the Winemakers (E&R, Portland, OR): Soft and mellow, but at the same time, lovely; just what a Dolcetto should be. Palate entry is soft, with really nice fruit here; mellow and tart, with mild earthiness. Good tartness and lots of tannin. Wollop of tannin on the finish, with some barrel funk and some brett perhaps. Nice. (1843 views) | | | Tasted by Jalvemo on 3/4/2014 & rated 82 points: red, a bit bluish.
light on the nose, with a hint of yeast, but in a good way.
black currants, with a lot of tannin, a bit rough on the tongue. (1129 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 1/3/2014: Purple color. Black cherries. More earth than fruit on the palate, medium weight. Tart, puckery acidity that throws off the balance and renders the finish thin and unpleasant. (1457 views) | | | Tasted by JimmyBubbles on 11/23/2013 & rated 85 points: I have tasted this wine when the bottle had been opened for 12 hours, so much better than the day before according my colleagues of Enoteca Barolo.
Anyway, it is radical and deep, violets and flowers, big acidity, a lot fruits on the nose.....great for its price. I think the best way to take it, is to decant, the wine is young, don't be afraid. (1599 views) | | | Tasted by Harley1199 on 11/22/2013: Thank God it's Friday...by the glass; 11/8/2013-11/29/2013 (Enoteca Barolo - Madrid): Deep violet colour.
Closed room at first on the nose.
Little touch of forest floor. Anise. Not too much mineral.
Tastes like cantine, wineskin bottle, very acid and a bit tannic.
Color violeta profundo.
Habitación cerrada al principio
Ligeros toques a sotobosque. Anisado. Poco mineral.
En boca sabe a cantina, a bota, muy ácida y algo tánica (1870 views) | | | Tasted by ttholst on 10/28/2013 & rated 82 points: Lukt av fioler, bjørnebær/kirsebær og medisinskap.Syrlig smak av bjørnebær og markjordbær. Litt tynn frisk munnfølelse.Steinete/støvete tanniner, kraftig men myk. Middels lenge. (1203 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)

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. |
