Cascina Morassino, Dolcetto D’Alba 2017

Dolcetto is one of the unsung heroes of Piemonte and this one by Roberto Bianco is especially good. It captures the typical style and robustness of Dolcetto from Alba. A delicious, full, juicy red with lovely red berry and herbal spice on the palate and a most attractive roundness on the finish.

Producer: This is a tiny, family winery in one of Italy’s most prestigious regions. Roberto Bianco, a graduate of the highly regarded Alba Oenological School, produces typical classic reds from Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes. His philosophy is to focus on the quality of the grapes and to optimise the land’s potential.
