"The scent of pure raspberry introduces this juicy red, with notes of cherry and strawberry. Above all, this is inviting and accessible, with a firm yet well-integrated structure. Drink now through 2028. 1,250 cases made, 400 cases imported.—B.S."

"The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia is a very pretty wine. Crushed blue fruits, menthol, licorice and baking spices are all nicely lifted in this delicate, understated Dolcetto. Like so many Dolcettos, the 2022 here is more finesse than power."
