Santo Stefano di Perno Dolcetto d'Alba

Not the typical dolcetto. Definitely has a savory, earthy funk which I didn’t expect. Not terrible or bad in any way. Maybe a little too aged for docletto. I’m searching. LOL

Good

Attempt number 2. First was corked. Simple wine from not so simple producer. Stunning level of sulfur and co2 yet still funky. Plums, tarragon, pepper.

So unlike any Dolcetto I've ever tried...

I'm no expert but I'd venture to say this is a classic example, as far as what I've tried

A nice Dolcetto, fine tannins, w some savory notes on the finish.

Very pretty Dolcetto. Dark fruit matched with a green vinous note. Balanced with fine tannin.

Mascarello knocks it out of the park as far as Dolcettos go

Black cherry pits, black raspberries, vanilla frosting, hint of mint. Excellent acidity offset by velvet tannins. Pleasant bitter finish. Good on its own, outstanding with tomato basil red sauce.

Ripe tart cherries and violets. Medium-light body. Spicy-sweet, slightly medicinal finish. A bit monotone, perhaps might improve with a couple years aging to settle the ebullient fruit.
