2016 Cordero di Montezemolo Dolcetto d'Alba

Florals leap from the bottle upon opening. Young-ish now, it settles down after a half hour.

Nice , medium weight red and blue fruit with a savory style of acidity that I find very attractive in this varietal.

Why am I not drinking more Dolcetto? Ridiculous QPR at $16/btl.

CdM makes an especially easy drinking version. Sourced from a north facing slope of the estate Monfalletto vineyard. Fermented using a combination of steel and barrique. The steel seems to preserve a freshness of fruit, while the barrique perhaps mellows some of the angular edges on the palate.

 Super food friendly. This disappears quickly.
