The 2020 Dolcetto d'Alba is fresh and punchy with a crisp and lifted bouquet. Name the berry fruit and you'll find it here, from blueberry to wild strawberry to summer cherry. The wine does not venture much beyond that primary fruit, but this is all you need for an oven-fresh pizza or flatbread with tomato and mozzarella.

The Pio Cesare 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba is redolent of bright berry fruit, raspberry and wild rose. There is a tangy, unruly quality to this wine that gives it personality and quirky appeal. Those bright and raw fruit aromas are followed by a lean and compact mouthfeel that makes for easy and approachable drinking, by itself or maybe with some meat-filled ravioli. Production is 30,000 bottles.
