Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Bricco Mirasole

Acid sweets and wild red berries meet exotic pepper - the kind that whispers of pine and menthol, like those Malagasy-Congolese-Indonesian blends that make you pay attention. Sky-high acidity running through a surprisingly delicate frame; the tannins are dry but the body stays thin, berry-focused, almost kissel-like in its bright fruit suspension. Smoky coffee emerges on the finish, adding depth to what initially seems simple. Blind, I'd never have called this Dolcetto - it's too ethereal, too acidic, too interesting. The kind of wine that makes you question what you think you know.
