Elvio Cogno 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba "Mandorlo" 750ml

The 2022 Dolcetto D'Alba is flush with the primary fruit of blackberry, violets, and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, with good concentration, crunchy red plum and raspberry, and sweet tannins, it delivers a pleasant lift on the finish. Drink 2023-2033. This is a joyful wine.
