The 2010 Dolcetto d’Alba is a terrific wine at this level. It offers plenty of varietal character and a fresh, vinous personality perfect for drinking over the next few years. Expressive floral notes add lift on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
This is an impressive set of wines from Prunotto. From top to bottom, every wine in this lineup is well worth considering. It would be nice to see Prunotto take their outstanding Baroli and Barbareschi to the next level. Given the quality of their vineyards and the significant resources of the Antinori family these should be truly profound wines.
