2021 Elio Sandri Dolcetto d'Alba

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Thursday, May 9, 2024 - Popped and poured and enjoyed immediately, initially very chilled: success. Very savory nose where notes of iron and leather dominate and red cherry-driven fruit and floral notes take the back seat. On the palate it is very nicely textured with good volume while maintaining terrific freshness and drive. There are tannins here but they are perfectly ripe and grip just right, not taking anything away from the drinkability. The fruit on the palate is not massively intense which I quite like as it leads to a highly moreish and refreshing style. The lip-smacking finish is the cherry on the cake, this is a wonderful expression of this underappreciated variety. I can imagine it being richer in other vintages, though.
