"Ruby red with violet highlights. Intense bouquet of ripe fruits with notes of currants, blackberries and black cherries. The flavor is balanced with smooth, sweet tannins and a persistent finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2020 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu is packed with blackberry, gravel, spice, incense, licorice and tobacco. Ample and full-bodied on the palate, the 2020 is so expressive in this tasting. Polished tannins wrap it all together effortlessly." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "The Pecchenino 2020 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu opens to a darkly concentrated appearance and virtually no light penetration. The bouquet is redolent of dark fruit, cherry marmalade and dried exotic fig or date. The Dolcetto grape fares very well in the hot vintages, producing more flavor and aromatic intensity as those summer temperatures rise. Despite that intensity, it never loses its easy-drinking appeal." —Wine Advocate "A lovely nose of crushed red and black cherries, baked strawberries and wild herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Notes of iodine and ink give further depth to the fruit. A lifting note of roses. Very good intensity and length. Drink now." —James Suckling |
