while the medium to full-bodied palate is a bit more dusty and drying than the 2021

mouthwatering finish nuanced by Carneros terroir notes of sage and forest floor

and it’s going to have two decades or more of longevity

this Dolcetto d'Alba is a true reflection of the traditional

with fine acidity cutting through a rounded and generous mouthfeel

The palate is surprisingly zippy with acid and Meyer lemon zest, but also shows richer hints of browned butter and toasted almond toward the finish. It's a crowd pleaser for many tastes."
