A strong showing from Mascarello in a difficult year for Dolcetto. Dark plum, violet, dried flowers and a prickle of spice, more intensity here than the vintage typically allows. The fruit holds together with genuine harmony, and the finish is polished and clean. Sourced from the less-favored parcels in Monrobiolo and Rue, this is Dolcetto doing more than its terroir demands.
