The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba by Tenuta Bartolo Mascarello was bright, vital, fresh and full of boyish charms. Totally fruit forward with plenty of blueberries and some plums intermingling with ethereal spices, violets, tar, smoke and perhaps some dusty choco. Of course no trace of dumb residual sugar or even jamy'ness. However a lot of yummy'ness with reduced grandeur and fair complexity! Another really convincing Dolcetto.
PnP. Color: Between brick and garnet. On the nose: Red berries, blueberries and vanilla. On the palate: Blueberry, mixed red and blackberries and some vanilla on the finish. Very enjoyable wine. Gives pleasure and is easy to drink.

Good fresh, clean, racy red.. Perfect food wine (assorted wood fired pizzas Napoletanas)

Oxidized for the first five minutes, then it came to life. Light, bright and perfect with Tuesday night chicken.

I had this side by side with a Vietti Barbers and I much preferred this Dolcetto. Nothing too ambitious but very good, medium body, nice fruit.
