Dark crimson. A little bit sour on the end funnily enough. A bit curmudgeonly. (JR)

Luciano Sandrone's 2009 Dolcetto d'Alba is a decidedly powerful, structured wine in this vintage, with plenty of dark varietal fruit supported by firm tannins. In 2009 the Dolcetto has less of the suave richness that is typical of this bottling.
