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...

Wine Spectator: Solid, if a touch chewy along the edges right now, as briar, cocoa and licorice snap notes are out in front of the core of pastis-soaked plum and blackberry fruit. There's lot...

Roland Hankerson: Ruby hue. At first, this still tightly-wound nose needs a little coaxing to share a bouquet of white pepper, violets and bright red fruit with hints of rhubarb interspersed. T...

Wine Spectator: Ripe and round, a polished mouthful of cherry, spice and licorice flavors. This hums through the supple finish. Drink now through 2014. -HS
