Tasting - Terre dei Savoia Dolcetto d’Alba


Name: Terre dei Savoia Dolcetto d’Alba
Variety: Dolcetto d’Alba
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $20, on sale for $6.95

Shop Review: Violet, red berry and underbrush scents come together in this Dolcetto. Its savory, juicy palate evokes crushed blackberry, cherry and a touch of toasted almond alongside lithe tannins.

My Review: There is a deep and rich smell to the wine. Sort of an earthy smell, but not of a dirt or floral. While it is a berry flavored wine, it is dry enough so that your palette is not overwhelmed with a sugary or sweet taste. I would definitely consider buying this.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
