TN: Dolcetto from 2008
With lamb chops with a Calabrese pepper sauce, pasta with pesto, and
broccoli rabe, the 2008 Stefano Farina Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba (I've had Dolcetto d'Alba before, not sure if di Diano is a subset or neighbor). Fruit driven, with black cherries and plums, a little anise- y herb note, solid tannins. OK acidity (about as much could expect with Dolcetto), tannins stand up to the chops, pleasant if unexciting wine. B/B- Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.** |

Dolcetto d'Alba DOC can be produced in a wide area spread across the two provinces of Asti and Cuneo. Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba, or Diano d'Alba, can be produced only in the municipality of Diano d'Alba, in the province of Cuneo. It has a stricter disciplinare than Dolcetto d'Alba and has a lower production per hectare, 7,2 metric tons instead of 8. -- Vilco Don't think pink: drink rosè |
