This Dolcetto is superb. Especially for what they say is an “everyday wine.” Dolcetto definitely living up to its little sweet one name. Was also told Chiara Boschis is a master and doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
Chilled it a bit in fridge and opened it at prob around 14-16 Celsius.
First sip, was fresh blueberry, strawberries and sweet red cherries, little bit acidic, smooth tannins, with a nose full of dried roses and flowers. Def got some liquorice in there.
20 minutes in turned to the darker berries. Blackberry and dark cherry. Became a lot more structured once it warmed up. Tannins became more pronounced.
30 – 45 minutes in it got very earthy, cacao bean, coffee crema like.
Really enjoyed this grape never having it before. Am a Dolcetto fan.
9/10
Also had Rib Filet steak, steamed greens and sautéed mushrooms to pair.
