Nice acidity and balance, good persistence and finish. (301 views) | | | Tasted by Ruubious on 11/25/2023: Decanted and drank over 2hr.
Overall a good wine, but didn’t really impress.
Seems a common theme with dolcetto, hoped this would be a touch better.
Have a few more and will let them sit a bit and decant longer (403 views) | | | Tasted by Decanting Queen on 8/12/2023 & rated 89 points: Just a quick taste as we had other bottles open and I am trying to detox from my travels. But this was better that I expected for a dolcetto. Dark color, nice fruit and acid. I wish I had paid more attention! (1434 views) | | | Tasted by cbforever1 on 6/28/2023 & rated 87 points: Overpriced, but a good dolcetto (549 views) | | | Tasted by kjwilli on 6/22/2023 & rated 90 points: Nice vibrant purple color. Drinking as we speak on its 2nd night, and 2 days after the 2016 Roagna Langhe Rosso (that tasting note posted recently). As in the Rosso, this Dolcetto has a rich purity of fruit, but dare I say, an off-putting rubbery edge. Will it blow off? I certainly understand Nebbiolo tar, but in 30 yrs of Italian wine drinking, I have not experienced it at this level in Dolcetto, and aeration does not seem to alleviate it. The fact that it is glaringly similar in that element to the Langhe Rosso doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Still a rich well balanced wine overall, and clearly well made. Drank on Day 1 next to a Einaudi Dolcetto Dogliani, which was fine, but doesn't compare to the Roagna in purity of fruit or complexity. Piedmontese tar I don't mind, and I will continue to try Roagna for its reputation. Rubber tires I can do without.

Raspberry and blackberry in the mouth. Light medium body. Cool finish.
Good purity of fruit. Nice balance. Very good everyday option with stronger flavored food. (527 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. |
