“The 2008 Dolcetto d’Alba Sorano is a very pretty, floral Dolcetto with attractive dark fruit, spices and menthol. This is an especially perfumed, complex Dolcetto…. The integrity and harmony in the fruit are remarkable in this very challenging year. A round, harmonious finish rounds out this delicious red.”
