The 2009 Dolcetto d’Alba reveals a precise fabric of dark fruit in a soft, seamless style that emphasizes textural richness over varietal character. Still, this is a delicious, opulent Dolcetto that captures the essence of the house style. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. This is a beautiful set of entry-level wines from proprietor Giampaolo Pira. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including: de Grazia Imports; tel.
