Cascina delle Rose Dolcetto d’Alba ‘A Elizabeth’ 2020

Named after a family friend Elizabeth, who has been helping with the harvest since 2000. Sourced from two vineyards, Tre Stelle (planted in 1958) and Marcorino (planted in 1944) crus. Serious territory here. Abundant and intense, with notes of crushed red fruits, cut flowers, blood plum and savoury spice. The most linear wine of the estate – sleek, juicy and packed with energy. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to maintain freshness, and for me, rare precision. Fine, velvet tannins and bracing acidity set an excellent scaffold, that will stay up longer than just about any other Dolcetto. A great vintage for Dolcetto? If this is anything to go by, most definitely. Waters Wine Co
