Carlo Giacosa - Dolcetto d'Alba

Carlo Giacosa - Dolcetto d'Alba

Vintage
Format

The color is a flaming ruby red with violet highlights. The bouquet is intense and vinous, with evident notes of violets and Marasca cherries. The palate is dry, full, savory and with a pleasant almond aftertaste. A young and fruity wine which pairs well with all courses of a meal, although it is best with starters, tasty rice and pasta dishes and main courses featuring red meats. Also excellent with medium-mature cheeses.
