Mascarello, Bricco, Dolcetto d’Alba, Piedmont, Italy 2009

The Mascarello family can lay claim to a winemaking heritage that stretches back more than 150 years. Its 2009 Dolcetto is full of character and charm. The nose is all chocolate, violets and roses, while it tastes of crisp, juicy plums framed by judicious tannins. 17pts/20 (90/100)
