Ferdinando Principiano Dosset Dolcetto, 2021

Sometimes negative comments can trigger my interest, indicating for me that the comment comes from a person with different tastes and expectations from my own. On Cellar Tracker, this Dolcetto was criticized because it was "missing in body, missing in wow factor." The body of a wine is determined by its alcoholic content, and this wine is low (11.5%) in alcohol. It does, however, have the tannin and acidity to carry intense Dolcetto flavors and a fine texture.

Beautiful bright ruby color. Cherries, red raspberries. Excellent balance of ripe fruit, tannin and acidity. Sits lightly on the tongue but leaves a lasting impression. The pasta was rich; the wine was elegant but not at all overshadowed.
