Gregarious aromatics, ripe berries and sweet florals. Gether’s Pastilles candy. Inviting tannins. Best nose of the night.

A bit darker and more brooding than I’d last remembered. A case for cellaring Dolcetto.

The 2020 Dolcetto d'Alba is a wine of extreme beauty. Pliant and expressive, with terrific depth, the 2020 is wonderfully deep. Dark cherry, licorice, sandalwood, spice and leather lend notable complexity. This is such a great example of what Dolcetto is and can be. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2022)

This wine isn’t crazy complex, dense..but for me at $26 hits exactly what I want with food. Dang I wish I had bought more!

Bright ripe cherries & florals, well balanced and great chalky finish.

Whoa. Tannin, structure and grip with extreme florals and vibrant fruit. Softened a little after a couple hours You can tell they are masters of Nebbiolo with this dolcetto.

Good value on list. Young. High tannins with some grip. Should be better Day 2.
