De Forville
Dolcetto d'Alba
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Not overly aromatic, but a hint of cherry pie, and maybe some slightly earthy/gamey aromas. Very soft fruit flavours (cherry, bubblegum). Chalky texture. Not an awful lot going on.

This is a ridiculously good wine at a price that once again reminds me that the old world is where you should spend your money. This is so interesting. Bittersweet chocolate, red fruits, fresh earth, herbal background. Perfectly balanced, bright acidity that gives it vitality. The bottle was gone before realizing it. This was the 2017, really did well with traditional pasta dish and particularly compatible with fresh Romano cheese.
