Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Winery: Costa di Bussia
Bottling: 2007 Dolcetto D’Alba
Importer: Siena Imports
Region: Italy
Sub-Region: Piemonte
Estimated Retail Price: $12
Purchase Details: Purchased for $24 on a restaurant wine menu at Pizetta 211 in the Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
Tasting Notes: In the glass, saturated red and purple hues. On the nose, aromas of sweet oak, spice and red and blue fruits. In the mouth, loads of cherries, plums and sweet spice. There’s also a strong “grapey” quality to the wine. Fine and velvety tannins, a medium body and palate-cleansing acidity on the finish make this a real joy and wonderful quaffer of a wine.
