Gorgeous depth and complexity here, with ripe plum and blackberry flowing into earthy undertones of forest floor, dried herbs and subtle smoke. The extended maceration shows. This has weight and presence while maintaining beautiful freshness through lifted acidity. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness. A serious, contemplative expression of Dolcetto.
