2021 Punset - Dolcetto d'Alba DOC
The 2021 Punset Dolcetto d'Alba DOC captures the signature balance of dark stone fruit, brisk acidity, and gentle tannins that make Piedmont’s flagship local red so reliable. Packed in a standard 750ml bottle, this vintage delivers a compact, approachable profile designed for immediate drinking rather than long-term cellaring.
Dolcetto naturally emphasizes ripe fruit and soft texture over heavy oak or aggressive structure. This bottling opens with bright layers of black cherry, plum skin, and a touch of dried herbal nuance, moving onto a medium-weight palate where clean acidity keeps every sip refreshing. The finish rounds out with a whisper of bitter almond, offering a structure that complements food without competing for attention.
