Filari Lunghi Dolcetto d'Alba

This medium dark wine is plenty aromatic. There is big fruit first - blueberry, blackberry, black cherry - met with cinnamon, nutmeg, forest floor, a whiff of smoke and a splash of tar. The palate is robust, to say the least. That dark fruit is there to lead the way, with spices in tow and a strong tannin profile that is more than ready to attack a hunk of beef. This wine is demanding on its own, but at its best when paired with a meaty dish.

Ruby with red and black fruit aromas and fragrant spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and juicy blackberry with lively acidity, spice, licorice and herb notes. Firm tannins, medium length ending with fruit and spicy notes.

Nose is pleasantly warm. A touch of funk.

Palate is ok. Mild blueberry. A touch of funk. Not super delicious. Not Uber flawed but not much going on.

Milano Italy
Absolutely fabulous wine.

Lidia’s. Lighter but very good flavor. Would be good with pasta.
