Rocca Felice, Dolcetto D’Alba 2015, Piemonte, Italy
Tasting Note: An Italian red from Piemonte with low-alcohol that would be a ready, uncomplicated accompaniment to many a meal, especially an Italian one.
Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a medium-plus intensity nose of violet, black cherry, black currant, black plum, bramble and vanilla baking spice.
On the palate the dry, medium-bodied, wine echoes flavors suggested on the nose along with fresh, black fruit that displays medium concentration and tannin.
The wine is straightforward and lifted by medium-plus acidity.
Bottle Note: Wine made from Dolcetto grapes. Ruby red color, vinous bouquet and soft dry taste. Well balanced.
