A terrific value-priced Dolcetto from Francesco Boschis, who has been producing wine on their family property in the Township of Dogliani (just south of Barolo) since 1919. Their "Pianezzo" is a blend of young vine Dolcetto grown on different plots scattered throughout Dogliani. The Boschis family also produces two single-vineyard Dolcetto's made from old vines grown on premier sites. The "Pianezzo" is fermented and aged entirely in stainless. It has a beautiful color, a great black fruit nose, and a smooth, long finish. A great everyday red for dinner or as a party wine. Given its versatility, price and taste, Dolcetto may be my favorite red. Albeisa bottle.
