G. D. Vajra Dolcetto d'Alba 2012
Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyCured meats, black cherry and bullion fill this expressive, deeper-hued dolcetto.The density lining the base of this medium bodied wine is countered by an inherent, pristine freshness, afforded by the altitude (400m), mix of limestone and marl soils, and stainless steel elevage. Ample salted walnut bitterness sharpens the finish, while a mix of worn leather and whiffs of shoe polish shades the form. Wild yeast ferment. A proper, traditional Dolcetto d'Alba, for today. Charcuterie or wild game will suit.Tasted: 08 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
