| Description: | 93 Vm / 91 Wa / 17.5 Jr. The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba is rich, deep and wonderfully expressive. A burst of dark cherry/plum, lavender and spice lends notable richness. In 2021 the Dolcetto marries sumptuous fruit with a total sense of classicism that is so appealing. The 2021 is a super Dolcetto. Don't miss it!-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. From a vintage that was especially favorable to this varietal, the 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba shows a firm and solid quality of fruit with rich, juicy flavors of blackberry and sweet cherry. Maria Teresa Mascarello explains that Dolcetto is a very delicate grape that is extremely vintage-sensitive. It needs healthy conditions and steep diurnal temperature shifts, otherwise the berries are compromised. Unfortunately, acreage to Dolcetto is rapidly declining, she explains, because vintners prefer to plant more lucrative Nebbiolo and Barbera instead.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate. Deep violet crimson. On the nose, intense, concentrated and pure with bags of blackberry. On the palate, fresh, lively, concentrated, pure and with fine, sandy tannins. Very long, precise and hedonistic at the same time. -Walter Speller, JancisRobinson |
