Elio Grasso Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi 2010

WineSaint
Dark cherry, bitter almond, dried violet and a streak of graphite-edged minerality. Grasso coaxes real depth from this Dolcetto without pushing it beyond its varietal character, the fruit stays honest while the structure tightens around it in the lean, focused manner the 2010 vintage demanded. Firm acidity and a dry, slightly grippy finish complete a wine with more to say than most Dolcetto manages.
