Review Date: 01/2025The Elio Grasso 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi is bright, punchy and chewy. Made in stainless steel only, it offers a charming interpretation of the grape with a bold cherry element and chalky powdery notes that are very attractive. The hot vintage does peep through with aromas of raisin and dried currant. It finishes on a short and simple note. (ML)

The Elio Grasso Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi is a delightful expression of the Dolcetto grape from the renowned Elio Grasso estate in the Barolo region of Piedmont. While Grasso is best known for its exceptional Barolos, the estate takes equal care with its other varieties, and this Dolcetto d'Alba is no exception. It offers a fresh and vibrant style of Dolcetto, highlighting the easy-drinking yet structured qualities that make this variety a favorite among Piedmontese wines. Sourced from the estate’s vineyards in the rolling hills of Monforte d'Alba, this Dolcetto showcases aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and plums, with subtle hints of violets and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of dark fruits, black pepper, and a slight almond finish. The wine's balance of fruit and freshness makes it an excellent everyday wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of foods. The Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi is crafted in a traditional style, emphasizing the grape’s natural fruitiness and freshness, with no oak influence to interfere with its purity. Elio Grasso's commitment to quality is evident in this Dolcetto, making it a great choice for those seeking a well-made, versatile wine that reflects the terroir of one of Piedmont's top producers.
