Tasting notes
The 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati is laced with wild dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, tobacco, incense and scorched earth. In this vintage, the Coste & Fossati is a bit more aromatic and less weighty than it can be, but it is nevertheless delicious, not to mention one of the most distinctive Dolcettos readers will come across.

The organic 2019 Dolcetto d'Alba Coste & Fossati is plump and bright with raw cherry and sweet blueberry. This 8,000-bottle production is streamlined and fresh with all sorts of fun fruit flavors to keep your attention. To the palate, the wine is quite simple, but you still have the textural fiber to pair with fried chicken or breaded veal. There is a dusting of black pepper on the close. This is the second time in as many years that the Vajra family has resisted submerging the cap during winemaking for this wine, a tradition they had originally started in 1989.
