Sandrone farms organically in Alba without chasing the certification paperwork. Bordeaux mixture and sulfur where needed, composted dairy manure every few years, and that's the whole program. The 2024 comes up ruby with violet at the rim, plum and blackberry and marasca cherry under a little spice, then a mid-palate that's more generous and structured than Dolcetto usually gets credit for, closing on ripe tannin and a whisper of almond. This is the wine Barolo houses drink while they wait for the Nebbiolo.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red with violet hues; aromas of plum, blackberry, and marasca cherry with delicate spice. The palate is generous and structured, finishing with ripe tannins and soft almond notes.

Professional Ratings

90 Vinous

The 2024 Dolcetto d'Alba is plump, juicy and expressive. Black cherry, plum, cloves, licorice and chocolate are pushed forward. This shows terrific depth and textural persistence, both qualities that were in short supply in 2024. Delicious.

90 Jeb Dunnuck

A preview of the next release, the 2024 Dolcetto D'Alba is a youthful magenta color and has a fresh, lifted nose offering bright aromatics of fresh violets, blackberries, and red-fruited highlights. Medium-bodied, it has a clean, refreshing feel throughout, with a light chalky texture. It’s a highly charming wine to drink over the next few years.
