Dolcetto d'Alba 2013

Rich and huge flavor while still in balance. Amazingly rustic and still restrained. Dark fruit, amazing with from scratch pasta. — 10 years ago

Enfer D'Arvier Petit Rouge 2011

Smoky-gamey macerated wild strawberries with mint. On the palate, surprisingly light and fruity, riper berry concentration, medium acidity, and low tannins. DOC regulations require 85% Petit Rouge, the most widely planted grape in the region, but this is 100%. Medium licorice finish. Overall, this is a more rustic Gamay and quite pleasant.
