Domaine Giovanni Manzone - Dolcetto d'Alba Le Ciliegie 2017
89/100
Robert Parker
Dolcetto, native to Piedmont, is a “soft” grape variety in terms of tannins. Grown on the exceptional terroir of the Manzone estate, it produces a red wine characterized by fruitiness and finesse. With a complex, fresh palate featuring notes of red berries and forest floor, it reflects its terroir—a wine full of personality and spontaneity. An exceptional Dolcetto!
