Popped and poured. Clear, purple-ruby. On the nose, this was all dark red fruits and candied vanilla, with supporting notes of dried prunes, white pepper and sweet spices. On the palate: Medium(+) acidity, full body, medium(+) flavour intensity of ripe red fruits and vanilla oak. Medium ripe tannins, medium(+) sweet finish. A fine example of Dolcetto done well, with lively acidity to match the fruit-forward profile. Paired nicely with fried food. 89-90 pts.

The apparent purple hint on the edge shows the youth of the wine.Velvet,jammy fruits and pepper came to my nose although the overall aromas are little thin.Really savoury in the palate if you like Dolcetto,the zesty acidity, black fruits flavours and strong tannins but not intense.A good table wine to enjoy with food.

this is a fine Dolcetto. It was a acidity, a tannic structure and a deep mulberry, plus smokey fullness to it. I think I just don't like the profile of Dolcetto. A note rather to myself. But if you like Dolcetto, this is very well made.

Served chilled with Indonesian. Went really well. Fresh, good acidity and sweetish fruit.
