The 2013 Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba sees fruit sourced from the highest altitude vineyard (at 500 meters above sea level) in the Diano d'Alba appellation. You definitely feel the difference thanks to the sharp, raw and linear quality of fruit. Dark berry, plum and blackcurrant emerge slowly from the bouquet.

Pretty hefty and funky aromas of leather, dark plums, charcoal and animal. Sour-cherry fruit and hints of licorice brought home by bright acidity. A Dolcetto that dances on its toes—this is a lively, mouth-grabbing wine.——W.E.(4/1/2000)—— 87
