Admit it, SB. You will not find a Dolcetto you like. So drink Scarpa Freisa instead

Decanted and put on ice bucket, outside in the shade with rillette, on a 97 degree bluebird day. Genius, old school, big dark fruit, freisa funk, grippy, I'd drink this #wine every damn day.

It's kinda like sneaking a sip nyquil from granny's "tonic" cabinet, but if she had kept in a dusty old cigar box with like black tea bags and handfulls of hard strawberry flavored candy.
Menthol also.
