Terrabianca, Dolcetto d’Alba “Brichet", Piemonte, Italy 2023
{organic} 100% Dolcetto
WILD BERRY, PLUM GIVING WAY TO PRUNE, HEADY HERBS
This is a delicious Dolcetto, albeit a richer and more full-bodied example than typically found. It’s vivacious and approachable yet has depth, length, and maturity, thanks to fruit ripened on 70–90-year-old vines. The name "Brichet" comes from bricco, referencing the most advantageously sunny part of a hillside vineyard. Brimming with fresh red and black fruit tempered with herbal notes, it’s a blend of backyard garden and wilderness.
Serving Suggestions: Spaghetti & meatballs. Pesto & pine nut stuffed zucchini boats. White truffle risotto. Pizza w/ roasted garlic cloves & spinach. Salami & provolone panini.
