Dark Ruby with red fruit aromas and fragrant spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and juicy blackberry with lively acidity, spice, licorice and herb notes. Firm tannins, medium length ending with fruit and spicy notes.

A tougher Dolcetto than most, has a deep gnarly, bitter personality that I like.

Very nice blueberry, cherry, raspberry flavors. Very soft in the mouth and some vanilla essence with some oak toast. Interesting for a Dolcetto. I'm also told if is relatively lower calorie??

deep, concentrated aromas of black berry, fig, hint of persimmon and date, hint of tabacco on the nose. med plus body, med plus acid, med plus intensity, fat texture comes with refreshing acidity. concentrated fruit and texture, bodied dolcetto that can paired with savory food...dried salumi, indian curry can be good with this wine. drunk with camagnola wheat pizza(mozz,tmt, prosciutto,asparagi, mushroom, sausage)moderate finish with savory notes...such as dried salumi.

2006 Dolcetto, impressively well preserved. Grainy, tight, almost Bordeauxesque. Wow.

Taste like really cheap red. Not for me at all. Like jug wine.
