The 2005 Maioli is old-vine Dolcetto di Ovada. Medium in body, it reveals a soft core of red berries with an attractive chalkiness on the long finish. Ordinarily I would prefer Dolcetto on the young side but this is a wine that has the potential to develop for another two to three years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
