Another wine from Piemonte?? Yes, when it’s as good as this Dolcetto from Cascina Minella, a small (just five hectares; four of Dolcetto and one of Barbera) organic winery in Dogliani (due south of Barolo) that was founded in 2002 by Livia and Gianluca Marchisio. Their 2007 Dolcetto di Dogliani is easy drinking. It has a very deep violet/purple color with a fresh, black fruit nose. Full, round finish. Surprisingly high (14.5%) alcohol content (aging potential?). No oak; vinified and aged entirely in stainless steel. Enjoyed with grilled skirt steak. Let’s hear it for the little guy!
