Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Sep 21
The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba La Costa is classy, elegant and wonderfully polished. For readers who may want to know what old-school Dolcetto done with today's approach taste like, this is it. Dark cherry, plum, licorice, spice and mocha give this mid-weight, stylish Dolcetto tons of character.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
