Community Tasting Note

Josch48 Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Heavily saturated black cherry color, with an aromatic nose of dusty red and black fruit, and a smoky bouquet of roasting beef and Italian herbs.
Sans food, the medium viscosity mouthfeel leads simultaneously with a very strong tannin presence and a blossoming burst of sweet, concentrated cherry, strawberry, and black fruit flavors, supported by an integrated acidity.
This Dolcetto is more aggressive than the docile wines of this varietal I remember from my distant tastings. I can recall Barolos that displayed this wine’s complex structure.
I look forward to having this wine tonight with grilled burgers and long sautéed mushrooms and onions. I predict the tannins will help to convey the lengthy palate lingering, well extracted fruit with most any savory cuisine, regardless of respective additive sauce or herb/spice profile.
The label professes no use of “herbicides or chemical treatments.” I find this inclusively enjoyable, especially given the price point.
The winery’s website lists 14 different offerings including a sparkler. You should visit the site, pecchenino.com.
I am looking forward to reading more impressions of this wine from members.
