2007 Sottimano Dolcetto
Purchased this during my pilgrimage to Wine Library in December. Gotta love Dolcetto. The sleeper of the Piedmont region provides one of the best values I have ever come across. On the nose, dark cherry, and also a vegetal green pepper component. Great mouth feel (if you love dry wines). Dark cherry juice up front mellowing out to that green pepper vegetal component on the back end. Little dirt action in there as well. Very noticeable tannins but in a good way! I would definitely drink this again.
