Dolcetto

Bright red with violet reflections. Present scent of black cherry, almonds and violets. Then juicy and light, with a pleasant texture and medium density. As it progresses, elegant and fruity on the palate with a nice length. SUPERIORE.DE

Racy and rich, the Dolcetto d'Alba Falletto from Serralunga near Giacosa's excellent Barolo sites. Its powerful style, dark, rich and ripe expression, firmly packed with fruit - a very special wine with beautiful potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant dark ruby red colour. Creamy bouquet with delicate hints of dark chocolate and black cherry. Consistent flavour with a delicate, typical bitter note, again black fruit and a wonderfully fresh tangle of acidity and tannin. A perfect and inexpensive introduction to the great wines of Roagna!

"The just bottled Dolcetto d'Alba 2023 is aromatic, graceful and light on its feet. Crushed flowers, spices, liquorice, leather and bluish fruit adorn this unobtrusive Dolcetto. The 2023 spent almost 90 days on the skins, followed by ageing in barrels and cement. Like so many wines from this vintage, this Dolcetto is of the lighter variety." Vinous

"Very pleasurable, crunchy fruit over a mid-weight delivery with delicate tones of rose, violet and cherry cola." Wine Advocate

Rich and fruity is the well-made Dolcetto from Chiara Boschis. Violet red, on the nose blackberry, candied cherries and some plum compote. On the palate a soft fullness with wonderfully fresh acidity, its medium face makes it an indispensable companion to light meat dishes and pasta. SUPERIORE.DE

The aromas of dark cherry, plum, smoke, leather, spices and menthol are supported by wonderfully juicy blackcurrant, clove, tobacco and aniseed on the palate. The refined tannins flank the compact, very straightforward style into a long final, in which we discover fine notes of hazelnuts. An aristocratic wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Pecchenino 2021 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu is a popular expression of Dolcetto that is often found in local restaurants. It is a rich and savoury wine that goes well with a pizza with spicy sausage. The wine is characterised by ripe blackberries, soft tannins and a hint of bright acidity. The presentation is simple, but perfect for a Dolcetto." Wine Advocate

"Notes of ripe and juicy dark berries with plum skins and spices, followed by a medium body with racy tannins and lively acidity. Fresh and lively with lots of energy. A little salty on the finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"This bright red is infused with violet, cherry and raspberry flavors, plus a flash of wild herbs. Firms up on the finish, where the fruit persists and a chalky sensation lingers. Shows fine balance and length." Wine Spectator
