Juicy, lip-smackingly acidic and full of character. I'm a new fan of the dolcetto. — 8 years ago
Smell like a Dr Pepper but with none of the additives (obviously). Skrate cherry cola. Cranberry and cutting acidity. Supple and generous but light and pristine at the same time. Vg — 8 years ago
I love all of the wines Palmina make. This one is such a lazy salty lover. Your hobo love with tar on his feet but a luscious long con on the tongue. Has he been licking a strawberry sucker then sipping Pellegrino? Enjoy a glass of him while the affair lasts, up until the last balmy, foggy warm night in Santa Barbara. — 10 years ago
Watch the wickets... Nice wine from a great producer — 11 years ago
Theres something cool about folks trying to make dolcetto either something it isn't or, perhaps, making the best interpretation of dolcetto possible. The Abonna family does this year after year, weather permitting. — 11 years ago
Very good little wine from the Cesare. Nose is clean with good fruit. The palate is juicy and approachable mild tannins, good acidity, the finish will develop in the right direction. Very happy — 11 years ago
Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.
Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats. — 12 years ago
Lovely rose with a bit more complexity and less acidic bright fruit than the typical rose. Well-balanced dryness. — 6 years ago

Blackberries and cherries... lots of fruit up front... Nuge and light, great with food. — 9 years ago
Right after opening, it seems like an alcohol bomb on the nose. Not to fail. Just needs 10 minutes and it's open to big red fruit, slight oak, tart cherry, and great acid. They're killing it out there. — 9 years ago
Enjoyable, just edging past its best — 10 years ago

Reminiscent of an Italian wine. Dry, acidic but pleasantly balanced. Very interesting texture! — 5 years ago
