Giorgio Pelissero Dolcetto d'Alba Augenta 2019

Dolcetto d, Italy

WineSaint
Vegetal and astringent, with green herb notes overwhelming any fruit character. The dark purple wine shows stemmy aromatics and a harsh, unripe edge that suggests the grapes never reached proper maturity. Where Dolcetto should offer juicy plum and cherry, this delivers only savory, wild elements and an angular finish. Drink immediately if at all.
