Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto d’Alba 2012

Generous and open-knit, the 2012 shows dark cherry, ripe plum, violet and lavender in a lush, expressive package. Where Mascarello's Dolcetto can lean compact and stern, this vintage gives freely — soft tannins, plush fruit and an almost velvety ease that makes it hard to put down. Classic in its proportions, and simply delicious.
