Dolcetto d'Alba

Score

90

"The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba is all class. Juicy dark plums, cloves, licorice and lavender are front and center. This succulent, racy Dolcetto is an absolute delight. I especially like the energy here. Altare's Dolcetto is once again a real highlight in 2021."

"A charming, supple red, with enticing aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry and violet. Expressive and on the elegant side, with a lingering aftertaste of berries. Drink now through 2026. 1,500 cases made, 75 cases imported."

"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is another fine entry-level offering to drink young, while the fruit remains vibrant. Dark cherry, plum, spice and new leather are nicely pushed forward in this mid-weight, slender Barbera."

"Packed with succulent cherry, boysenberry and hints of licorice and black pepper, this red is harmonious and expressive. Echoes the fruit and spice elements on the finish. Drink now. 800 cases made, 240 cases imported."
