Tasting: Terre dei Savoia Dolcetto d' Alba

Name: Terre dei Savoia, Dolcetto d' Alba
Variety: Dolcetto
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: Frontline $20, Sale $6.95

Winery Review: Violet, red berry and underbrush scents come together in this Dolcetto. Its savory, juicy palate evokes crushed blackberry, cherry and a touch of toasted almond alongside lithe tannins.

My Review: This wine smelled old, like how I imagine a church would smell or a library with older books. It was sweet, but more savory than sweet. I got a strong berry scent, and upon tasting, a cherry flavor. I did not get an aftertaste of almonds. This wine was very dry, but I did like this wine and would try it again! 

I did not taste this wine with food.
