DOLCETTO d'ALBA "CARLOT" - AGRICOLA MARRONE - Alba
http://italyfood-montecarlo.com/en/tenuta-agricola-marrone.html
The Dolcetto d’Alba “Carlot” is our Dolcetto more structured, it is a wine able
to combine the typical pleasantness of this vineyard with the good structure.
It allows accompaniments to quite structured dishes. The Dolcetto d’Alba
displays an intense ruby red colour with tints of violet. The nose has aromas
of violet, blackberry and raspberry and is characteristically fruity. In the
mouth it is dry, pleasantly fresh, full-bodied and very balanced. Perfect
throughout a meal, it is the Piemontese daily wine par excellence.
