Community Tasting Note

oldwines Likes this wine:

Thursday, December 8, 2022 - Tasted at the cantina with Giuseppe Cavallotto. This is a serious Dolcetto. It underwent a 5-7 day maceration and spent 6-7 months in large Slavonian oak Botti. The vast majority of similar wines see little to no wood aging. 13.5% ABV. It is a dark crimson purple color. The nose is very fragrant and floral, showing violets and plenty of red berries. This is brighter in acidity than the usual dolcetto as well and show quite a bit of tannin. It is rich and chewy with "crunchy" red berry fruit but not excessively fruity. Very balanced. This is quite dense and full bodied but has a slight edge of bitterness to the long finish. This is one of the most "sophisticated" Dolcetto's I have had outside of Dogliani.
