2016 Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Scot Cavallotto

Parker-Larner 90 Punkte: The 2016 Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Scot reveals a thick and darkly concentrated appearance. The bouquet is layered and rich with dark fruit, spice, pipe tobacco and pressed rose. This Dolcetto d'Alba will be released in June. Fruit comes from a two-hectare parcel and the wine is made with submerged cap in tanks with punch downs for three days. It is aged in large oak casks for six months.

Wine Spectator 90 Punkte: This red shows floral, black currant, earth and mineral aromas and flavors. Balanced and intense, yet more traditional in style and not as flashy as many of its peers. Decant. Drink now through 2021. 1,111 cases made. –BS

Im Glas hat er tiefes, dunkles Rubinrot. Sein Bouquet besticht mit Noten von roten Früchten, wie Kirsche und Himbeeren, sowie leicht floralen Anklängen. Im Mund öffnet er sich mit fruchtigen Impressionen, einer diskreten Struktur untermalt von einer schönen Säure und Mineralität. Alles in einer sehr angenehmen Balance.
