The 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba is a dark and satisfying red wine with fleshy, fruit-forward appeal. This was a hot vintage and Dolcetto loved the heat, literally putting on intensity and volume with each upward tick of the thermometer. You sense that clearly here. You taste toasted nut and cardamom, but winemaking for this Dolcetto is executed in stainless steel only. Because this wine sees no oak, those spicy aromas come straight from the fruit.
