This is a bold, opulent and happy wine that will put a smile on your face—and not only because of that low price. Bright purple and ruby in color, the 2017 Dolcetto d'Alba exudes raw fruit with bright cherry and blackberry preserves. There is a lot of richness and density here. Dolcetto loves a hot vintage, and that's exactly what it got in 2017: plenty of scorching sun rays to get those sugars moving. This wine represents a blend of fruit from the villages of Alba and Treiso. Winemaking is executed without any oak. Some 20,000 bottles were made. Wine Advocate, 88+ WA
