Tasting- Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba

Name: Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba
Variety: 100% Dolcetto
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95
 
Winery Review: Cherry and plum aromas fill the nose with jammy overtones. It is firm with almond flavors on the finish. Dolcetto is the everyday wine of the Piemontese, it pairs well with a wide variety of dishes from tomato-based pasta dishes and white meats, to minestrone and antipasto platters.

My Review: This wine smelled of dark fruits, like blackberries. It was not a super dry red, but it was very acidic. The wine was very balanced but complex in terms of tannins. I did not really like the jam flavor of this wine and probably wouldn't drink it again.

I tasted this wine on its own without food.
