Giacomo Grimaldi, Dolcetto d’Alba (Piedmont, Italy) 2010

Dec 4, 2012

By Michael Franz

Dark and dense but still fruity and — for a Dolcetto — appropriately playful, this is a delicious introduction to the grape variety for those who don’t yet know it. Medium-bodied, with fresh fruit notes recalling both red and black cherries, this also shows savory undertones that keeps it interesting despite its overtly fruity character. Very nicely calibrated acidity keeps the slight sweetness of the wine in balance.
