2016 Dolcetto d’Alba, Fratelli Serio & Battista Borgogno
 
$14.99

Picture
It seems absurd that this is the first time we have featured a Dolcetto d’Alba in this space -- as one of our favorite daily “go-to wines” and clearly used the same way in Piemonte, why did we wait so long? No good answer to be honest, but to make amends, here is an exciting, textbook example from this exemplary estate.
 
Situated in one of the most important crus in Barolo, Cannubi, this estate could not wish for more exalted soils in which to grow their grapes. The oldest surviving bottle of Barolo is labeled Cannubi 1752, from old Dolcetto vines planted amongst the Barolo vines in Liste. Just north of Cannubi (next to another great cru, Brunate) comes a wine of distinction and class, but at a remarkable price. 
  
Showing a vibrant red color with violet tinges, a mineral-laden nose of ripe red fruit jam and a palate evocative of blackberries and raspberries, the finish is clean, dry and focused… refreshing really. This refreshing quality is Dolcetto’s calling card… versatility with foods and a drinkability that lends it to quotidian use. Try this with some braised pork shoulder, porcini mushroom pastas, charcuterie and anything with truffles.
