Easy dranking! Brought it to a friend that’s not a wine drinker and she loved.

Mocha powder, and coffee on the nose. Earthy, a whiff of garigue, and leathery, with a splash of cassis and black cherries. Smooth tannins, bright acid.

Leaning forward with blackberry fruit, violets, black slate, some leather and earth on the nose of this #dolcettodalba. It definitely stretches out nicely after a day or two post-uncorking in the wine fridge. Medium body with more pronounced acidity than expected for the varietal, bit thin in mid-palate but definitely not shy on the tannic finish though they are well-managed. Choice QPR here at Total Wine for ~$9 with volume discounts.

Poca struttura e poco tannino, rosso giovane e fresco, sentori di amarena
