Marchesi di Barolo, Dolcetto d’Alba (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Feb 16, 2011

By Paul Lukacs

 With more weight on the palate than many Dolcettos, this is a delicious medium-bodied wine.  It offers a floral bouquet, with cherry-flavored fruit on the palate that begins on a sweet note but finishes satisfyingly dry, and secondary echoes of anise and savory spice.  With unobtrusive tannins and refreshing acidity, it’s a wine with little reticence so very easy to enjoy.
