Very enjoyable Dolcetto. Needed to breath for about 30 minutes and then opened up beautifully with all the characterists you would expect from this varietal. Very pleased and would purchase again. Wayne

My wife made chicken parm in honor of the last episode of the Sopranos tonight (what's up with that blackout any way?) and I wanted something that could handle all the gravy and gooey mozzarell'. This seemed like a good choice and it was. On the richer side for dolcetto but not over the top like some that appear to aspire to late harvest zin. Quite dark in color. Pronounced but not overbearing violet/floral notes, good plummy fruit and a full finish. Very good match.

Good bottle. Solid as advertised. Nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly not a let down. Even a few years past it's prime.
