A new favorite. Very flavorful Dark fruit with a hint of leather and very smooth. — 3 years ago
What a freak show of a nose. Gorgeous spice and berry. Super high toned. Grapey and confectionary with a big aromatic spectrum. Big earthiness as well .Palate is gorgeous, sleek and ripe with terrific cutting Dolcetto tannins and dynamic freshness. Terrific grip and concentration. Ripe and juicy tannins that suggest 5-7 more years ahead of this. Terrific wine. — 4 years ago
Solid Dolcetto, centered on the fruit. Lots of blueberries. Precise tannins. Kudos. — 7 years ago
This bottle of 2010 Pecchenino “Le Coste” was pulled from my cellar on a “school night” and brought to a fun little gathering of service friends after their shift. Opened, splash decanted and consumed over three hours; served side-by-side with the 2010 Roberto Voerzio “Brunate”. The Pecchenino “Le Coste” was locked down pretty hard for the first 30 minutes but shifted dramatically before the hour mark. At that point, it was singing with bright, red and dark fruits, roses, tar and wrapped up in the most elegant package. Compared to the Voerzio, this was lithe and open-knit. A lovely, traditional expression of Barolo that, while endowed with the classic structure of 2010, is just beginning to offer up more of its charm. It’s probably worth noting that Pecchenino actually resides in the Dogliani commune, just across the boarder from Monforte d’Alba. Dogliani is where some of the highest expressions of Dolcetto are produced under the Dogliani Superiore DOCG classification. Pecchenino’s Dolcettos are lovely examples and super reasonable…but I digress. Back to this wine, “Le Coste” is a small-ish MGA in the Barolo commune that sits directly south of the town of Barolo and said to share some similarities with the Cannubi MGA just to the north. While I don’t have enough experience drinking wines made with the fruit from "Le Coste", I can certainly draw some parallels. Anyway, on this night, the "Le Coste" by Pecchenino wiped the floor with the "Brunate" from Voerzio, which couldn’t seem to really get out of the gate and even after 3 hours in a decanter. The Voerzio is gonna need forever to come back around. Drink now with at least 30min of air. Otherwise, this will continue to drink well through 2030+. — a year ago

Dolcetto with some spine. Attack no impressive, but kicks into gear mid palette and finish. Impressive dolcetto. $35 — 3 years ago
I’d be more than happy to purchase this one again. — 4 years ago

I tried this twice, once early in 2022 and now-August 2023. Very nice well structured dolcetto that is a little bigger than what I look for in the type of wine, but now quite elegant and opening beautifully. Good value. — 2 years ago
