A typical (not in the bad sense; I love Dolcetto) from Orlando Abrigo, whose family has been tending vineyards in Piemonte for generations. In 1988, Giovanni Abrigo completed his wine-growing studies and began working alongside his father, Orlando, in the family business, and began to implement technical improvements in the winery with the aim of producing wines of character. The estate was expanded to about 25 acres with the acquisition of land and vineyards where they grow the traditional Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes, as well as new varietals for the Langhe like Chardonnay and Merlot. The 2007 Dolcetto d’ Alba is a wonderful Smucker’s grape jelly color with a fragrant nose of cherries and violets. No wood aging. Nice body and finish. Perfect for everyday drinking with a wide variety of foods.
