Dolcetto d’Alba 2022 by Manuel Marinacci is a fresh and approachable red wine that expresses the everyday charm of the Langhe. It reveals notes of dark cherry, plum, and a hint of almond. The palate is soft and fruit-driven, with gentle tannins and a pleasant, easy-drinking character.
This is a great wine to pair with food! It goes well with roasted eggplant, vegetable lasagna, and red meats.
This Dolcetto was harvested a little early and underwent vinification with stalks rather than whole bunches. It was aged in steel, which is not typical. As a result, the herbaceous notes stand out, which breaks up the roundness of the fruit a little.
