Red
Dolcetto d'Alba
By Beppe Marino, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
A Dolcetto d'Alba from Santo Stefano Belbo; the producer notes it is not sweet despite the name. Steel-aged, 12.5% alcohol, 5.08 g/l total acidity.
Tasting notes
Ruby red. Fruity nose in evolution with evident almond notes. Harmonious, concentrated palate with ripe fruit memories and a slight vein of soft tannins.
Pairs well with
An all-meal wine for any occasion: cured meats, starters, first courses such as risotto, agnolotti and tagliatelle al ragu, as well as meats and cheeses.
