Tasting - Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba


Name: Isiri Dolcetto d'Alba 
Variety: Dolcetto 
Region: Piedmont 
Country: Italy 
Year: 2009
Price: $18 --> $7.95 (close out)
Shop review: Cherry and plum aromas fill the nose with jammy overtones. It is firm with almond flavors on the finish. Dolcetto is the everyday wine of the Piemontese.  It pairs well with a wide variety of dishes from tomato based pasta dishes and white meats, to minestrone and antipasto platters
My review: Plum smell was very apparent.  It was really easy to drink and was smooth.  It seemed very earthy but that wasn't too overwhelming.  I feel like it could go with a lot of different types of food.  It wasn't my favorite, but it seemed like a nice red wine.        
Food: no food
