"Massimo’s Dolcetto is grown on a steep hillside right alongside his family home in Monforte d’Alba. His Dolcetto—an almost black wine with an intensely chalky backbone and meaty tannin—emphasizes structure above all else. It is as comfortable with the main dish as with the pasta course." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
"This a classic Dolcetto fresh, a perfect wine for evry day, easy to frink, fresh..." Massimo Benevelli, winemaker
