I was surprised by the tannins of this #Dolcetto They were ripe and light. I believe Dolcetto wine growing practices are changing. Climate change and earlier harvesting and less extraction — 6 years ago

Roagna

Dolcetto d'Alba 2016

Would love to be drinking this #Dolcetto in Piedmont, but as I’m in New York, enjoying this #Roagna with Alessandro Masnaghetti’s 1970 Barolo map will suffice! — 8 years ago

Lorenzino Dolcetto d'Alba 2016

So underrated. Dark, brooding, intense. Roasted plums, grated spices. Still, it’s fleshy, corpulent and packed after a day or two of aeration. #dolcetto #alba #piemonte — 8 years ago

Paitin di Pasquero-Elia

Sorì Paitin Dolcetto d'Alba 2015

Massive, sappy, impenetrably dark. Insane concentration. Roast plums, toasted almond, blackstrap. Fine, but substantial, tannins. One of the greatest young Dolcettos I've ever tasted. #paitin #dolcetto — 9 years ago

Visadi Langhe Dolcetto 2014

Straightforward #Dolcetto. This #wine has a top notch cork for a simplistic profile. Opens up to bright raspberries with moderate tannins. Ficus in the simplicity. — 10 years ago

Pecchenino

San Luigi Dolcetto di Dogliani 2015

Blue and black fruits. Tightly wound; showing signs this will be a 20 year-plus wine. Persistent, but fine tannins. Fantastic. #dogliani #pecchenino #dolcetto — 8 years ago

Med concentration with a pale ruby core and violet rim. Med + intensity with a decent amount of alcohol upfront. Med complexity showing ripe red and blue fruit. Cherry, boysenberry, crushed stones, stems, and purple flowers. Firm structure with med + tannins and acid. Full body. Less complex on the palate showing less fruit which is overwhelmed by the structure. Okay length. Definitely a food wine. I'll revisit in a year. #brunogiacosa #dolcetto #alba #piedmont #italy #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

1/1/19- shedding some of its baby fat and becoming more chiseled. A hint of bitter almond beginning to show in the nose.
