Tasting notes
The 2022 Dolcetto D'Alba displays a deeper purple hue with some opaqueness and offers riper aromas of mocha, ripe plums, crushed lavender, and sweet earth. Medium-bodied, it has a nice snap of freshness and a chalky, ripe texture. It moving toward a full-bodied feel and is going to drink well over the next few years.

The Luciano Sandrone 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba has earthy notes with musky iris root, autumnal leaf and wet underbrush. There is some astringency from the stems and skins, and you feel the rawness of the winemaking in a simple entry-level red such as this. The wine ferments in stainless steel and ages in the bottle for three months before its release. Production is 30,000 bottles.
