Dolcetto d’Alba DOC Anfora
Dolcetto d’Alba DOC Anfora has notes of blueberries, blackberry compote, dried thyme, iron, and rosemary. The palate is juicy and lively, with vibrant acidity evolving into light, supple tannins. The finish is earthy, herbal, and slightly floral, making this a quintessential everyday wine of the Langhe.
