WINE: DOLCETTO DALBA shows a beautiful bright ruby red color with deep violet highlights, with an explosive and fruity floral fragrance that evokes the blackberry, the wild strawberry, ripe black cherry. The bouquet is dry and full-bodied, elegant and round, with notes of fruit and a wonderfully almondy finish.
