Crazy value, tons of flavor, lots of fruit, but very grounded by honest earth, light, clean, great with food, scary that they can do this for 17 bucks. Real handmade wine.

True to form. Dark fruits with nice acid. Rustic enough.

2011 Roagna Dolcetto D'Alba. The beast lives! This ain't no "Sweetish" drink. Big structure, super savoury, almost salty, blood like character supported by a big core of fruit. Looks like it's had some extended maceration, giving some earthiness and a bit of funk. There's a skinsy character, like the taste of red grape skins post ferment. It stained my tongue black! Must be drunk with food, excellent on day 2. Get it from Boccacio Cellars for around $25 #FilthyNowVino #wine #redwine #dolcetto #alba #roagna #2011 #italianwine ping @sld87 @anthdanna
