Coming from a high-elevation site at 550 meters planted in the 1990s, the Dolcetto D’Alba Bricco Bastia is beautifully expressive and perfumed and pours a ruby/magenta color. Aromatically, it opens with fresh cherries, floral notes, and crushed stones, showing a lifted, pure profile. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and light on its feet, fresh and fruity, with fine tannins and bright acidity that give it just enough structure without overshadowing its charm. This is an approachable Dolcetto to drink over the next several years. Drink 2026-2032.
