Description
"Plum, dark cherry, spices and a choc-liquorice richness, with some dried flowers chucked in too. Medium bodied, ripe, fleshy and tannic, and certainly it’s a big bold Dolcetto, though it does not come at the expense of drinkability. Crunchy acidity and tannin on a blue fruit and plum finish of excellent length. It’s a cracker." - 92 points, The Wine Front
"Traditionally cropped from an ideally positioned 3.2 hectares within the Serralunga postcode, recent vintages also include fruit from Massolino’s Cascina I Maschi vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. The Dolcetto is raised entirely in stainless steel tanks. First produced all the way back in 1896, Massolino only uses its finest Dolcetto for this bottling; the remainder is sold in bulk. It’s another superb example of this variety: succulent, perfumed and packed with crunchy black cherry fruit and floral notes with a lovely, vibrant, mouthwatering close. Pass the salumi, please." - Importer's Notes
