Montubert Dolcetto d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Now this is my kind of Dolcetto. Doesn’t try to be a ‘roided-out WWE wrestler. Gorgeous bright red and purple berries on the nose, a brambly note, and very clean cracked stone minerality on the nose. Mouthfilling, crisp dark berry fruit, little tannin, good acids, turns savory and just a tad bitter on the cleansing finish.

A deep dark cherry smell...
Light to medium in body, with a bright mouthfeel.
Dark and fresh cherry combined, dried cranberry, apricot acidity, and extremely light tannins.
A lovely, and easy, drinker.
Cheers.

Big structure, this needs further aging to soften, but quite a contrast with the Ca’Viola and its ripe, sweet fruit, this is a Cabernet lover’s Dolcetto!!
