Sight: Very deep purple color with a bright purple rim.
Nose: Dark candied raspberry with a distinct menthol (!) edge.
Taste: Light tannin, low acidity, a bit hot. Candied berries, pleasantly bitter end.
Overall: I had been wanting to have a Dolcetto for a while and I definitely picked a good one. This is a high quality example, from a quality-minded producer. As expected, it is not complex or too intriguing, however it does have a definite, assertive character, not at all generic. At 14% abv, the heat seemed a little excessive, but not overwhelming.
