I’m still looking for a good Dolcetto D’Alba…this wasn’t one of them. Uninteresting for the most part and not delicious. It had a little fruit and maybe some licorice flavors on the palate, but the finish was unpleasantly bitter. I understand that this type of finish is supposedly typical of Dolcetto, but it just seemed awkward and out of balance to me…disappointing.
