For me, this is the ultimate every day drinking wine. I could drink it every night without getting tired of it. It is produced from two vineyards, one in the village of Barbaresco and one in the village of Neive nearby--both of which could be planted with the much more profitable Nebbiolo Barbaresco. It is, I believe, named after an American woman who frequently visits during picking season and loves this Dolcetto. It is aged in stainless steel and concrete.
Bright ruby, shading to garnet. Needs some aeration and swirling but opens up beautifully. Fresh cherries and violets--so direct but also suprisingly complex. Teases and pleases. Dolcetto fruit tannins are fine and supple, adding to the flavor profile rather than blocking it.
