Rocche Costamagna Dolcetto d'Alba, Italy

2021 - Here is a winery making a serious Dolcetto, showing off what great Piedmont terroir can do with this variety. Very deep, blood red velvet color, loaded in dark chocolate covered cherries, pomegranate, red plum, blackberries, toasted vanilla spice. A savory, unforgiving palate of deep red berry fruits, long, long finish. Love this with a roasted game bird with a cranberry walnut stuffing, a raspberry glazed grilled pork tenderloin, or cinghiale.--Finn
