Organoleptic description
The appearance is deep ruby red. The nose plays on fresh fruity notes and hints at a pleasant blackberry note on the finish. In the mouth it is nimble, very smooth and balanced. Freshness and pleasantness dominate at every stage of drinking and make this Dolcetto dynamic and suitable for all palates.
