Cascina delle Rose
A Elizabeth Dolcetto d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
If for some strange reason you’re not feeling like Barbera, this is quite good with salumi - especially on days 2 and 3.

Best on day 3! Had this wine a number of times but was most impressed with the longevity of this most recent bottle.

Pleasant, lush table wine - blackberry, violets, macerated strawberry and stripped cedar.

Better with a little air. Will probably improve with time. Still a fair amount of tannin. Dark fruit, chocolate, good acid.

Earthy, plummy, held up well against a red fish stew. Rec by Vintage.
