It's beautiful & seductive! Wanted to wait longer but couldn't resist. Great stuff with pasta, red sauce & meatballs.

Rich and fruit driven, a long finish starts fruit then finishes savory and dry.

Altare’s 2012 Dolcetto d'Alba is intense, layered and beautiful, with layers of dark blue/purplish fruit and expressive aromatics. This is a delicious, entry-level wine from one of Barolo’s top artisan producers. (AG)

Perfect with a light meal. Flavours of lime and blackberries...easy to drink multiple bottles.
