Notes | |||
"Bright ruby red in color with deep violet highlights. The perfume is immediate and intense, uncompromisingly winey and persistent, with primary aromas. Redolent of grape must which, while ageing, develops sensations of red wild berries. The mouth is dry and full-bodied, elegant and round, with notes of fruit and a wonderfully fresh and juicy finish. Tannins are fine and perfectly integrated." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Dolcetto is the perfect grape to pair with your favorite comfort foods, including pizza, chicken curry and everything in between. The Elvio Cogno 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba Mandorlo shows pretty brightness and liveliness with sour cherry on the close. This is one of your best options in terms of ease of drinking, value and just the sheer fun factor. Some 11,000 of these bottles were made." —Wine Advocate "The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba Mandorlo is exquisite. Medium in body and vibrant, the 2021 impresses with its energy more than anything else. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, gravel and licorice inform this decidedly nervy Dolcetto. Clean saline notes extend the resonant finish." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
