Cantina della Stazione Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

Cantina della Stazione is a new label from Dave Fletcher, with his eponymous label to focus on Nebbiolo. These wines come from higher altitude site he bought in Alba - between Barolo and Barbaresco.

Dave said most Dolcetto's have become too soft and fruity, with producers trying to minimise the inherent tannin. He leans into the variety and has produced a stunning example. Very pretty nose of cherry and bright florals. A more linear Dolcetto than most yet with great core of fruit. A slight chew to the tannin gives lovely depth. One of the better Dolcetto's I've had in a while. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
