Deep in color and extraction, this is a very ripe style of Dolcetto. Very expressive aromas range from black cherry to black raspberry and even a little blueberry. A little bramble and fresh herb add complexity. On the palate there is a tasty mix of lush black cherries, espresso and perfume. Rich, but with tingly acidity and a little wood tannin to provide structure. Overall a juicy and delicious Dolcetto.
