I love Dolcetto! In the glass it explodes with fresh violets and licorice. Palate is met with dried herbs and rich cherry. Lingering tannins on the finish.

Leatherbound, meaty and perfumed - but the fruit is just a wee bit sour.

August 15, 2017. My first Dolcetto. Some fruit and smoke in the glass. Lovely old world red on the palate. Nicely balanced. Yum.

B 2012 give it 15 min or so to breathe in the glass and u will see it evolve from a light watery wine to one with more fruit body and earth.
