Le Rose Dolcetto d'Alba

The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba Le Rose is fresh, delicate and fragrant, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Bright red/purplish fruit, spice and sweet floral notes are nicely pushed forward in this mid-weight, super-classic Dolcetto. A brief stay in oak adds structure.

Matt had this 10 years ago

Second from the producer/very light bodied

Rich tobacco nose. Little thin

This wine is sour, feel like drinking bouch. Very tangy.

New vintage (2016) that crushes it. This is one of those rare Italian reds that does not need food to balance it all out. Fresh...Fruity...Youthful...Dry--it's all there. And my, what a beautiful color. (ALC 12.5%...so sensible. Best at cellar temp.)

This was seriously perfect with a medium rare steak and crisp, citrus-y arugula salad. Soft tannins, juicy, delicious.

Really nice and deep Barolo, tingly and spicy. Paired at home with some salmon and veggie soup. Would repurchase.
