The 2010 Dolcetto d’Alba shows terrific depth and plumpness in an attractive, mineral-driven style. The Dolcetto is varietally correct and uncomplicated but hugely delicious at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015.
This is another superb set of wines from Aldo and Milena Vajra. What else is new? I am sure one day the Vajras will receive the broader recognition they so richly deserve. In the meantime, savvy readers know the exceptional quality these wines deliver for what remain very modest prices.
