Il Palazzotto Dolcetto Sori Christina 2020

Bright and ripe, with flavors of black cherry and black currant, yet with good grip too. Ruby with a brick rim. Enticing aromas of red cherry, raspberry, baking spice, and smoke. On the palate, cherry and raspberry fruit, with allspice, leather, and earthy notes, with tobacco and cigar box on the finish. Bone dry with firm tannins and bright acidity.

Paolo Olivero is a small farmer in the little hilltop village of Diano d'Alba, just north of Barolo. He farms 5 hectares of vines and 6 hectares of hazelnut trees. His specialty in wine is producing Dolcetto, but he does produce small quantities of Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Roero Arneis. The Olivero family has produced wine on their property for four generations, but it wasn't until after Paolo finished oenology school and worked for another domaine in Diano d'Alba that he returned home to lead the family domaine and bottle their wines.
