Luciano Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba 2023 (6 Bottles) Dolcetto d'Alba, Italy

Sandrone's Dolcetto is without doubt one of the very finest examples of the region. In his seminal book, Barolo to Valpolicella, Nicolas Belfrage describes the Sandrone Dolcetto as a "mouthful of sheer fruit, but with guts." That book was last published in 2004, and the wine has only improved in the vintages that have followed. The consistent quality of this wine--its purity, silky texture, fine tannins and balance--can only come with perfectly ripe fruit from top sites.
