Very expressive nose here, characteristic of the variety and region. Excellent deep, dark berry fruit. Dusty, and finessed tannins, lending some chalkiness and structure to the back end, and finish. Really nice lively acidity. The kind of wine you could drink and drink. Opened with mild expectations, but found plenty of magic in this bottle. If there's a better Dolcetto, I'd love to hear about it.

Nice wine. Not super concentrated, good acidity, a bit "full throttle" for me but not too much, and nice leather notes that add some complexity. Good value

Enjoyable bottle that works excellent with a variety of different foods. Dark in color. Big and coating on the palate. A well made Dolcetto that delivers a strong value. AG 94 is way aggressive.

Another tasty bottle of this Dolcetto that shows a powerful expression that you often find in Dogliani. Very well balanced with a good nose. A fine value.

Although I prefer a Barbera or Langhe Nebbiolo to Dolcetto, this is a clean, balanced, red fruited, well made wine that fits the bill for those occasions where I need something inexpensive to PNP for a simple pasta or pizza night.

Nerdeyse siyah,derin mor renkli.Burun çekici,temiz ve leziz çağrışımlı.Böğürtlen,siyah ahududu,kırılmış taş,kuru otsu baharat ayrıca geride vanilya ve et çağrıştıran kokular alınıyor.Tam gövdeli.Damakta yoğun,adeta çiğneniyor.Yumuşakliği ve tazeliği oldukça iyi.Ancak belirgin tanen yapısı ile bitişe doğru çok hafif kuruluk hissettirse de uzun dengeli bitişli ile sıradışı ciddi bir dolcetto.

Really delicious. Lots of red raspberry and red cherry notes, and smooth in the mouth. Wish I had a case in the cellar.

A different expression with this bottle tonight. Dark in color. Tart with lots of soil. Quite powerful with a mouth coating quality.

Really enjoyed this. Great density and weight with a pure and unobtrusive style. Delicious acidity and earthiness. Will buy this again.

At a huge, hurried tasting, this was one of just a handful that really stood out from the crowd. Dolcetto in fine wine mode - delicious.
