Bruno Giacosa's Dolcetto d'Alba, made entirely without wood: about a week's maceration in steel, six months in tank and a short rest in bottle. A pure, everyday Piedmontese red: black cherry and blackberry with violet, liquorice and Dolcetto's characteristic bitter-almond finish, soft acidity and a light grip of tannin. Made to drink young, with food.
