The 2007 Dolcetto D’Alba Augenta is more classic of the estate’s Dolcettos. Whereas the Munfrina is aged in steel, the Augenta spends several months in large, neutral oak which gives the wine a firm, sturdy structure to frame the dark red fruit. This, too, is a beautifully perfumed, full-bodied and tasty offering. The Augenta is not currently imported into the US, but it should be available elsewhere. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Giorgio Pelissero is based in Treiso, in the heart of the Barbaresco zone. While I have long admired his wines, it often seemed as though Pelissero wasn’t getting the most of his vineyards. That seems to have changed with this set of releases. I was simply blown away by what I tasted, and that includes the higher-end wines as well.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel.
