  Piemonte: Truffles instead of Turkey; 11/23/2023-12/2/2023 (Barolo, Barbaresco, Alto Piemonte and of course Alba): I’ve noticed there seem to be a few most classic styles of Dolcetto and this falls into neither camp. On the one hand there is often quite a bit of fruit and it’s lots of that dark berry with maybe almost a leather style to it and then on the other there is the one with all of the wood treatment which can mute the fruit down a bit more but sometimes also feels a bit intense. Here Fabio does something a bit different - 60% whole cluster. The fruit is all there but it is in this sort of more subtle and classy style. 10-14 days skin contact. Allows the wine to be a bit more gentle and classic in style. Very enjoyable.

  Charming sweet berries. Lots of nerve and tension and actually quite tannic, drying. Not yet calm - needs to rest a year or two. Fresh and energetic.
