Domenico Clerico Dolcetto Visadi 2007

This version of Piemonte's "little sweet one" isn't so little—but it's not just another lush, deep-purple quaffer. While flaunting its dimensions in a profusely berried nose, the palate is not quite so forward, exercising restraint in a surprising display of tannic vigor. This statement is issued against a background of spicy, plummy fruit that carries an intriguing herbal note. Unlike most others in the varietal category, this Dolcetto sees a brief period in new barrique, a practice that enhances the wine's demonstrative character.
