2011 Luciano Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba
Dolcetto: 750ml
$18.99
about this wine:
Dolcetto d'Alba is made as an easy-to-drink everyday wine that matches well with a variety of dishes. It shows great plum and berry fruit, deep minerality and good, firm, ripe tannins. Though "Dolcetto" roughly translates as "little sweet one," the wine made here is not a pushover at all - it has loads of bright fruit but also good structure, with bright acid and firm tannin. The wine is made in steel from start to finish for freshness and intensity. Drink from 2-6 years of age.

In a vintage in which so many wines are big and powerful, the 2011 Dolcetto d'Alba stands out for its silky personality and utter refinement. Floral notes meld into expressive dark blue and black varietal fruit in a gracious, mid-weight Dolcetto of incomparable elegance and finesse. Firm Dolcetto tannins appear on the finish to support the fruit and add balance. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. -Antonio Galloni

This shows aromatic dark berry and violet aromas and flavors, with touches of black pepper. Needs a little air to reveal the silky texture and elegant profile. Drink now through 2014. -BS
