Curto 2017 – Dolcetto d’Alba 

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers elegance and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of bigarreau cherry, blackberry and small notes of violet, ripe small black fruits and plum associated with a touch of crushed strawberry, discreet hints of spices, liquorice and an imperceptible hint of cinnamon. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, gourmand and offers a good definition, a fine acidulous frame, a beautiful texture, a fine suavity, a small tension as well as a fine straightness, fleshiness, a slightly tight grain, richness/concentration. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, blueberry and small notes of plum associated with small touches of ripe/fleshy red berries, a fine touch of liquorice, small red berries as well as discreet hints of spices, violet/rose and very discreet/imperceptible hints of mocha (in the background). Tannins are fine and well-built. There is an imperceptible saline hint, chocolate and toasted/toasted hazelnut on the finish/persistence.
