Expert Reviews
The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba Bric del Salto jumps out of the glass with an exotic mélange of blueberry, spice, graphite and game. The flavor profile is very much Dolcetto, with just a touch of reduction, but the structural feel is very much Nebbiolo-like. What a jewel of a wine. It spent three weeks on the skins and aging in tank.
Andrea Sottimano is very pleased with results in 2023. The 2023 Dolcetto d’Alba Bric del Salto sees stainless steel only and 35 days of skin maceration. You get a lighter appearance because Dolcetto loses its color with longer maceration times. But the process does add fragrant aromas of wild berry rose and dried blueberry. Longer maceration times also make this a more integrated wine. The tannins and the acidity feel quite amalgamated. It's an elegant expression that shows special finesse, especially for the often-rustic Dolcetto grape. "I want to give dignity to this grape," says Andrea Sottimano. "The more you work in a classical method, the more contemporary the wines become."
