2008 Dolcetto d'Alba, Az. Agr. Giovanni Rosso, Serralunga d'Alba

Dolcetto d'Alba, Az. Agr. Giovanni Rosso remains as elegant as ever, especially in the crunchy 2008 vintage. All Giovanni Rosso's vineyards lie on the superior Serralunga d'Alba ridge, where white soils & altitude combine, along with a traditional winemaking approach, to deliver one of the truest, most refined and perfumed Dolcettos around; a wine that speaks more of the soil than the grape, a feature which characterises all Davide's wines. Drinking now till 2013; perfect at lunch or with almost any starter. Great value.
