The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia is brisk, vibrant and full of character. Nebbiolo-like color and light-bodied structure. Even so, the 2023 is delightful in its classicism.
Crushed blue fruits, menthol, licorice and baking spices are all nicely lifted in this delicate, understated Dolcetto. Like so many Dolcettos, the 2022 here is more finesse than power.
