Borgogno Dolcetto d'Alba 2018

Quite a contrast in style, vintage and vineyard aside, to the Boasso Dolcetto tasted alongside it. A cool ferment (24-28c) for 12 days, with a soft pressing, where as the Boasso gets similar treatment, but plenty of pump overs.  Importer: Mondo

Fragrant and gentle style. Red cherry and plum, some almond, distinctly floral. It’s medium-bodied, gentle fine grained tannin, freshness of acidity, cherry and strawberry, a smattering of dried herb, and a fine and pretty long finish. Delightful.
