Nice textbook dolcetto with blackberry, sour berries and fresh toast. The palate is fresh and vibrant with balanced acidity showing lush blackberry jam and an herbal flavor that led to a fresh dark fruit finish.

As I sat and sniffed around the edges of this glass, it reminded me of everything I love about Italian wine. The first impression was of blackberry jam and brioche, but with time in the glass, the slightest hint of barnyard and earth added dimensions that I had at first not noticed. It was easy on the palate, with perfect balance and flavors of wild berries and a bit of old wood. Some gravelly tannin was noticeable on the finish but it served to remind me that this wasn't just a forgettable wine from who-knows-where, this was Dolcetto from Piedmont and a truly excellent example at that.

This is a great Dolcetto of the dusty, mineral-laden, old school variety. Floral notes are complimented by dark, grapey fruit and a back-bone that is fairly tannic for Dolcetto. The finish offers limestone and chalk mineral character.
