An interesting wine. Somewhat past its peak and showing signs that it didn't have the construction to age as long as I put it down for. Tannins are pretty much gone and acidity is hanging on by a thread. Fruit is there and is very subdued. Nice notes of cherry, plum, and some loam. Very pleasant but lacking any vitality that it may once have had.

flintstone vitamins on first nose, tangy sour cherry, finishing more marischino and a liqourice note. kind of like a manhattan without the bourbon. medium body with good balance. not a lot there except fruit, but yummy fruit. well made. a true dolcetto, not a dolcetto trying to be nebbiolo.

Sour cherry on the nose, very authentic smelling (for lack of a better word). Great food wine, cherries with some earthiness. Like a good pinot noir, with some more tannin. Very nice.

Paired with pizza bianca from Tontonno's in NYC. Old world in style with soil, fruit and oak. Easy drinking wine. Good QPR from a rockstar producer.
