2023 Giacosa, Bruno - Dolcetto d'Alba DOC (750ml)

Harvested early to lock in crisp acidity and vivid tart cherry notes, this 2023 Dolcetto d’Alba delivers immediate drinkability with a streamlined structure that requires almost no decanting. The aromatic profile opens with ripe black plums, forest berries, and subtle hints of cracked black pepper, while the palate stays medium-light with polished tannins and a clean, stony-mineral finish. Rather than relying on heavy oak influence or prolonged barrel aging, the winemaking preserves primary fruit character and natural brightness, delivering a precise expression of Alba’s limestone-clay soils.
