Opening to a black ruby appearance, the Fratelli Revello 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba offers a cheerful and simple interpretation of this food-friendly grape. Dolcetto offers roundness and plumpness with lots of black cherry and blackberry. This expression is a little offbeat in terms of the bouquet, with a splash of natural rubber. The wine is mid-weight in density, but the power of its structure and the intensity of the fruit are pushed up a notch, probably due to the hot growing season. Match that vintage heat and concentration with tagliatelle covered with a sausage ragù.

Cherry and earth flavors mark this rich, supple red. Juicy and balanced, with a light dusting of bittersweet chocolate hints to the tannins on the finish. Drink now. 300 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Dolcetto d'Alba Select to Add
